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.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 56 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.5x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($2,475 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($12,317 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 84% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Archeology accounts for 0.4% of reported programs at Lipscomb University, which is bigger than 80% of schools in this field set and 1.5x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 12 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $55,541 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $12,317 below the $67,858 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 Lipscomb University #47 of 56 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
