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 333 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.8x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,182 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($18,900 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 51% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Applied Mathematics accounts for 1.5% of reported programs at Northern State University, which is bigger than 84% of schools in this field set and 1.8x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 19 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Northern State University's average net price is $15,812 per year, about $63,248 over four years. That is $6,182 below the $21,994 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $47,618 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $18,900 below the $66,518 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 State University #169 of 333 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
