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 81 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 ($245 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($9,072 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 41% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Computational Science accounts for 0.5% of reported programs at The University of Texas at Austin, which is bigger than 67% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 210 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
The University of Texas at Austin's average net price is $19,857 per year, about $79,428 over four years. That is $245 below the $20,102 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $75,121 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $9,072 above the $66,049 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 The University of Texas at Austin #33 of 81 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
