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 223 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 8.8x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($2,626 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($260 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 70% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Homeland Security accounts for 9.2% of reported programs at Waldorf University, which is bigger than 99% of schools in this field set and 8.8x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 169 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Waldorf University's average net price is $19,693 per year, about $78,772 over four years. That is $2,626 above the $17,067 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $51,165 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $260 below the $51,425 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 Waldorf University #156 of 223 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
