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 1,448 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 1.7x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($39,148 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($29,199 above).

How big is the program signal?

How should I read the cost number?
Pepperdine University's average net price is $58,098 per year, about $232,392 over four years. That is $39,148 above the $18,950 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $82,939 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $29,199 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?
