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 349 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 6.7x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($10,252 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($29,561 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 57% ROI position within this field set.

Questions about this program
How big is the program signal?
Computer Engineering accounts for 7.8% of reported programs at Northeastern University, which is bigger than 98% of schools in this field set and 6.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 1,344 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Northeastern University's average net price is $30,915 per year, about $123,660 over four years. That is $10,252 above the $20,663 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $92,538 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $29,561 above the $62,977 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 Northeastern University #198 of 349 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
