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.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 179 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 ($10,039 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($572 above). That combination produces a A+ value grade and a top 7% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
General Sales, Merchandising and Related Marketing Operations accounts for 0.3% of reported programs at Saddleback College, which is bigger than 32% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 44 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Saddleback College's average net price is $4,152 per year, about $16,608 over four years. That is $10,039 below the $14,191 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $50,874 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $572 above the $50,302 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 Saddleback College #12 of 179 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
