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.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $37,975 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $184 below the $38,159 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
