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 (3.3%), school-wide average net price ($12,470), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($84,943), and peer averages from 640 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 big is the program signal?
Public Health accounts for 3.3% of reported programs at University of California-San Diego, which is bigger than 86% of schools in this field set and 1.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 1,153 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
University of California-San Diego's average net price is $12,470 per year, about $49,880 over four years. That is $6,806 below the $19,276 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $84,943 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $27,367 above the $57,576 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
