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 460 schools that report this field.

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($1,017 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($8,515 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 37% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research and Allied Professions accounts for 0.4% of reported programs at Northern Illinois University, which is bigger than 38% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 50 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $57,808 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,515 above the $49,293 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 Northern Illinois University #170 of 460 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
