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. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (2%), school-wide average net price ($12,007), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($42,620), and peer averages from 301 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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 301 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of B, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($16 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($1,924 below). Together, those evidence points place Missouri Southern State University in the top 67% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Dental Support Services and Allied Professions accounts for 2% of reported programs at Missouri Southern State University, which is bigger than 57% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 60 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Missouri Southern State University's average net price is $12,007 per year, about $48,028 over four years. That is $16 above the $11,991 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $42,620 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,924 below the $44,544 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Missouri Southern State University's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 Missouri Southern State University #203 of 301 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
