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.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (5.9%), school-wide average net price ($29,824), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($55,646), and peer averages from 112 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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 112 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is 5.4x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($9,450 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($6,306 below). Together, those evidence points place Southwestern College in the top 96% ROI position within this field set.
