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 (4%), school-wide average net price ($19,589), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($66,990), and peer averages from 1,448 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.

How big is the program signal?
Psychology, General accounts for 4% of reported programs at Pacific Lutheran University, which is bigger than 44% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 95 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $66,990 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $13,250 above the $53,740 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
