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.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 1,964 schools that report this field.

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($2,706 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($4,723 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 59% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Business Administration, Management and Operations accounts for 0.8% of reported programs at South Dakota State University, which is bigger than 3% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 71 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $55,070 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,723 above the $50,347 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
