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. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (5.8%), school-wide average net price ($10,046), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($43,827), and peer averages from 134 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 134 schools that report this field.

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($1,486 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($151 above). Together, those evidence points place Ridgewater College in the top 46% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Veterinary/Animal Health Technologies/Technicians accounts for 5.8% of reported programs at Ridgewater College, which is bigger than 82% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 125 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Ridgewater College's average net price is $10,046 per year, about $40,184 over four years. That is $1,486 below the $11,532 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $43,827 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $151 above the $43,676 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Ridgewater College's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 Ridgewater College #61 of 134 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
