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. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (7.9%), school-wide average net price ($15,840), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($45,543), and peer averages from 1,041 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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 1,041 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 3.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($3,625 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($8,646 below). Together, those evidence points place Virginia State University in the top 50% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Teacher Education and Professional Development, Specific Subject Areas accounts for 7.9% of reported programs at Virginia State University, which is bigger than 95% of schools in this field set and 3.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 400 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Virginia State University's average net price is $15,840 per year, about $63,360 over four years. That is $3,625 below the $19,465 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $45,543 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,646 below the $54,189 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Virginia State University's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 Virginia State University #516 of 1,041 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
