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 110 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 ($3,141 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($11,536 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 28% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Materials Engineering accounts for 0.4% of reported programs at New Jersey Institute of Technology, which is bigger than 50% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 32 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

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 New Jersey Institute of Technology #31 of 110 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
