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 32 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 3.0x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($11,210 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($8,566 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 100% ROI position within this field set.
