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 1,158 schools that report this field.

How big is the program signal?
Music accounts for 4.1% of reported programs at Shenandoah University, which is bigger than 96% of schools in this field set and 2.4x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 87 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Shenandoah University's average net price is $30,298 per year, about $121,192 over four years. That is $11,433 above the $18,865 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $58,433 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,607 above the $54,826 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 Shenandoah University #1,031 of 1,158 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
