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 (0.8%), school-wide average net price ($13,807), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($124,080), and peer averages from 51 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 51 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of A+, 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 ($9,116 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($45,947 above). Together, those evidence points place Stanford University in the top 2% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Science, Technology and Society accounts for 0.8% of reported programs at Stanford University, which is bigger than 73% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 57 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Stanford University's average net price is $13,807 per year, about $55,228 over four years. That is $9,116 below the $22,923 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $124,080 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $45,947 above the $78,133 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 Stanford University #1 of 51 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
