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 150 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($2,014 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($3,704 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 69% ROI position within this field set.

Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration accounts for 1.7% of reported programs at Virginia Commonwealth University, which is bigger than 37% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 347 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $58,128 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,704 below the $61,832 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
