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 (1.1%), school-wide average net price ($58,098), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($82,939), and peer averages from 333 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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 333 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($36,104 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($16,421 above). Together, those evidence points place Pepperdine University in the top 100% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Applied Mathematics accounts for 1.1% of reported programs at Pepperdine University, which is bigger than 80% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 39 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $82,939 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $16,421 above 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 Pepperdine University #332 of 333 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
