College Scorecard reports school-wide earnings and price, not per-major outcomes for individual colleges. Program share is a concentration signal, not a promise of department quality. Use it as a proxy, then verify department-level outcomes with the school.

The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($4,678 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($2,783 above).
