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 180 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.8x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($19,457 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($18,273 above). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 90% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Engineering-Related Fields accounts for 2.2% of reported programs at Tufts University, which is bigger than 87% of schools in this field set and 1.8x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 153 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 $19,457 above the $20,541 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 $18,273 above the $64,941 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 #162 of 180 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
