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 460 schools that report this field.

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($1,915 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,840 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 49% ROI position within this field set.
