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 333 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 3.2x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,148 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($25,047 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 10% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Applied Mathematics accounts for 2.7% of reported programs at Vanderbilt University, which is bigger than 95% of schools in this field set and 3.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 197 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Vanderbilt University's average net price is $15,846 per year, about $63,384 over four years. That is $6,148 below the $21,994 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $91,565 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $25,047 above the $66,518 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 Vanderbilt University #32 of 333 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
