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 151 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 lower than the peer average ($995 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($23,213 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 24% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Air Transportation accounts for 1.5% of reported programs at Purdue University-Main Campus, which is bigger than 57% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 676 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $72,424 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $23,213 above the $49,211 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 Purdue University-Main Campus #36 of 151 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
