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.

How big is the program signal?
Engineering Science accounts for 3.6% of reported programs at Smith College, which is bigger than 92% of schools in this field set and 3.1x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 91 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Smith College's average net price is $27,579 per year, about $110,316 over four years. That is $8,958 above the $18,621 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $64,027 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,007 above the $62,020 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 Smith College #62 of 73 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
