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.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (0.3%), school-wide average net price ($31,446), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($70,196), and peer averages from 411 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. 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 411 schools that report this field.

Together, those evidence points place Seton Hall University in the top 82% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Public Administration accounts for 0.3% of reported programs at Seton Hall University, which is bigger than 23% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 19 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $70,196 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $13,825 above the $56,371 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
