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 226 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($5,778 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($22,808 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 10% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Biomedical/Medical Engineering accounts for 1.4% of reported programs at Vanderbilt University, which is bigger than 74% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 104 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $91,565 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $22,808 above the $68,757 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 #22 of 226 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
