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 512 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.8x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($5,713 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($5,265 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 22% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Anthropology accounts for 1.2% of reported programs at Sonoma State University, which is bigger than 84% of schools in this field set and 1.8x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 61 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Sonoma State University's average net price is $12,885 per year, about $51,540 over four years. That is $5,713 below the $18,598 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $65,986 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,265 above the $60,721 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 Sonoma State University #114 of 512 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
