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 1,124 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($248 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($17,709 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 87% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Computer and Information Sciences, General accounts for 3.1% of reported programs at Shaw University, which is bigger than 76% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 27 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Shaw University's average net price is $16,512 per year, about $66,048 over four years. That is $248 below the $16,760 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $34,409 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $17,709 below the $52,118 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 Shaw University #979 of 1,124 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
