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 107 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 5.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($5,237 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($14,513 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 36% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Plant Sciences accounts for 4.9% of reported programs at Miles Community College, which is bigger than 97% of schools in this field set and 5.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 16 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Miles Community College's average net price is $10,405 per year, about $41,620 over four years. That is $5,237 below the $15,642 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $42,862 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $14,513 below the $57,375 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 Miles Community College #39 of 107 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
