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.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (1%), school-wide average net price ($25,907), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($49,802), and peer averages from 64 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes. 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 64 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($3,780 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,662 below). Together, those evidence points place Northwestern College in the top 83% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Religious Education accounts for 1% of reported programs at Northwestern College, which is bigger than 48% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 11 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $49,802 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,662 below the $52,464 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 Northwestern College #53 of 64 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
