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 (1.3%), school-wide average net price ($8,027), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($50,159), and peer averages from 48 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.

The enrollment proxy is about 179 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $50,159 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,063 above the $47,096 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
