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 40 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 5.9x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($3,128 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($17,328 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 100% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $30,573 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $17,328 below the $47,901 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
