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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 245 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 1.9x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($2,279 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($4,941 below). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 43% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $38,631 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,941 below the $43,572 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
