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 98 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 ($14,848 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($12,623 below). That combination produces a A+ value grade and a top 3% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $41,900 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $12,623 below the $54,523 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 Southmost College #3 of 98 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
