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 302 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($184 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($106 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 54% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Multi-/Interdisciplinary Studies, General accounts for 0.4% of reported programs at South Dakota State University, which is bigger than 37% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 34 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
South Dakota State University's average net price is $19,841 per year, about $79,364 over four years. That is $184 above the $19,657 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $55,070 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $106 above the $54,964 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 South Dakota State University #162 of 302 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
