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 20 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 3.0x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($10,085 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,326 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 100% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Mining and Petroleum Technologies/Technicians accounts for 3.5% of reported programs at Lackawanna College, which is bigger than 85% of schools in this field set and 3.0x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 67 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $41,000 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,326 below the $43,326 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 Lackawanna College #20 of 20 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
