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 (4.3%), school-wide average net price ($1,738), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($55,702), and peer averages from 648 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.

How big is the program signal?
Human Development, Family Studies, and Related Services accounts for 4.3% of reported programs at Skyline College, which is bigger than 86% of schools in this field set and 1.9x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 331 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $55,702 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,071 above the $47,631 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
