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 (11.8%), school-wide average net price ($16,590), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($38,924), and peer averages from 174 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.

How big is the program signal?
Law accounts for 11.8% of reported programs at Texas Southern University, which is bigger than 91% of schools in this field set and 2.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 808 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $38,924 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $29,335 below the $68,259 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 Texas Southern University #123 of 174 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
