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. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (0.6%), school-wide average net price ($11,086), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($41,661), and peer averages from 173 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes. 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 173 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of B, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,554 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($14,095 below). Together, those evidence points place Southern Maine Community College in the top 32% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services accounts for 0.6% of reported programs at Southern Maine Community College, which is bigger than 50% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 35 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Southern Maine Community College's average net price is $11,086 per year, about $44,344 over four years. That is $6,554 below the $17,640 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $41,661 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $14,095 below the $55,756 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Southern Maine Community College's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 Southern Maine Community College #56 of 173 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
