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 (16.2%), school-wide average net price ($14,977), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($43,167), and peer averages from 344 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.

How big is the program signal?
Human Services, General accounts for 16.2% of reported programs at Lincoln University, which is bigger than 98% of schools in this field set and 5.6x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 250 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $43,167 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,336 below the $47,503 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 Lincoln University #207 of 344 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
