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.

The reported share is 4.6x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($5,201 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($8,799 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 23% ROI position within this field set.

Are the earnings major-specific?
