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 413 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 5.8x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($11,094 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($17,759 below). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 20% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $37,981 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $17,759 below the $55,740 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
