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 (5.2%), school-wide average net price ($18,209), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($58,191), and peer averages from 180 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.

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?

What should I compare next?
