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 37 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($1,948 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($1,286 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 68% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Agricultural Engineering accounts for 0.3% of reported programs at Oregon State University, which is bigger than 32% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 83 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Oregon State University's average net price is $19,604 per year, about $78,416 over four years. That is $1,948 above the $17,656 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $64,010 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,286 below the $65,296 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 Oregon State University #25 of 37 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
