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.

Compared with 72 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 7.5x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($7,558 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($5,483 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 86% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Library Science and Administration accounts for 14.6% of reported programs at Simmons University, which is bigger than 99% of schools in this field set and 7.5x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 244 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Simmons University's average net price is $25,265 per year, about $101,060 over four years. That is $7,558 above the $17,707 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $63,494 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,483 above the $58,011 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 Simmons University #62 of 72 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
