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 132 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($1,132 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($1,477 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 60% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Agriculture, General accounts for 2% of reported programs at Northwest Iowa Community College, which is bigger than 69% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 17 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $50,776 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,477 above the $49,299 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
