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 183 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.7x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,495 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,118 below). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 23% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Foods, Nutrition, and Related Services accounts for 1.6% of reported programs at Lamar University, which is bigger than 87% of schools in this field set and 1.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 130 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Lamar University's average net price is $9,366 per year, about $37,464 over four years. That is $6,495 below the $15,861 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $49,652 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,118 below the $51,770 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 Lamar University #43 of 183 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
