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.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (1%), school-wide average net price ($19,406), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($57,262), and peer averages from 151 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes. This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 151 schools that report this field.

Together, those evidence points place Kansas State University in the top 70% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $57,262 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,051 above the $49,211 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
