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.
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 146 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 lower than the peer average ($7,665 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($30,685 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 70% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Legal Research and Advanced Professional Studies accounts for 0.4% of reported programs at Texas Southern University, which is bigger than 34% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 27 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 $30,685 below the $69,609 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 #102 of 146 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
