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 461 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($15,573 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($14,286 below). That combination produces a A+ value grade and a top 1% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Geological and Earth Sciences/Geosciences accounts for 0.2% of reported programs at Middlesex College, which is bigger than 21% of schools in this field set and below 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?
Middlesex College's average net price is $2,288 per year, about $9,152 over four years. That is $15,573 below the $17,861 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $46,861 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $14,286 below the $61,147 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 Middlesex College #1 of 461 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
