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?
Applied Horticulture and Horticultural Business Services accounts for 2.1% of reported programs at Southeast Technical College, which is bigger than 87% of schools in this field set and 2.1x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 49 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Southeast Technical College's average net price is $17,400 per year, about $69,600 over four years. That is $6,187 above the $11,213 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $46,709 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $92 above the $46,617 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 Southeast Technical College #130 of 141 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
