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 1,124 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.9x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($15,009 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($15,330 below). That combination produces a A+ value grade and a top 1% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Computer and Information Sciences, General accounts for 4.8% of reported programs at South Texas College, which is bigger than 89% of schools in this field set and 1.9x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 763 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
South Texas College's average net price is $1,751 per year, about $7,004 over four years. That is $15,009 below the $16,760 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $36,788 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $15,330 below the $52,118 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 Texas College #10 of 1,124 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
