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.
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 46 schools that report this field.

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($1,057 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($934 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 52% ROI position within this field set.
