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 220 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 ($1,020 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($388 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 57% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Criminology accounts for 1.5% of reported programs at St. Mary's University, which is bigger than 46% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 29 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
St. Mary's University's average net price is $21,145 per year, about $84,580 over four years. That is $1,020 above the $20,125 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $56,955 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $388 below the $57,343 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 St. Mary's University #125 of 220 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
