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 (1.5%), school-wide average net price ($19,140), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($56,210), and peer averages from 757 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?
Philosophy accounts for 1.5% of reported programs at Lycoming College, which is bigger than 91% of schools in this field set and 2.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 15 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Lycoming College's average net price is $19,140 per year, about $76,560 over four years. That is $1,552 below the $20,692 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $56,210 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,945 below the $61,155 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 Lycoming College #395 of 757 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
