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 541 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.6x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($13,725 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($6,785 below). That combination produces a A+ value grade and a top 1% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Human Resources Management and Services accounts for 2.6% of reported programs at Purdue University Northwest, which is bigger than 79% of schools in this field set and 1.6x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 149 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Purdue University Northwest's average net price is $6,079 per year, about $24,316 over four years. That is $13,725 below the $19,804 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $48,318 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $6,785 below the $55,103 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 Northwest #8 of 541 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
