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%), school-wide average net price ($30,988), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($67,991), and peer averages from 284 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. 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 284 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of C, 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 ($10,280 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($6,119 above). Together, those evidence points place Monmouth University in the top 79% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

The enrollment proxy is about 35 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $67,991 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $6,119 above the $61,872 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
