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 (0.1%), school-wide average net price ($39,998), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($83,214), and peer averages from 111 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. 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 111 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($16,614 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($15,190 above). Together, those evidence points place Tufts University in the top 84% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Engineering Physics accounts for 0.1% of reported programs at Tufts University, which is bigger than 31% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 7 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Tufts University's average net price is $39,998 per year, about $159,992 over four years. That is $16,614 above the $23,384 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $83,214 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $15,190 above the $68,024 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 Tufts University #93 of 111 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
