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 (0.8%), school-wide average net price ($19,409), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($67,416), and peer averages from 387 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

How big is the program signal?
Area Studies accounts for 0.8% of reported programs at La Salle University, which is bigger than 78% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 15 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
La Salle University's average net price is $19,409 per year, about $77,636 over four years. That is $2,184 below the $21,593 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $67,416 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,966 above the $65,450 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with program share, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify ranks La Salle University #151 of 387 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
