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 73 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 2.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($14,287 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($5,819 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 99% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Engineering Science accounts for 2.8% of reported programs at Wartburg College, which is bigger than 88% of schools in this field set and 2.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 40 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Wartburg College's average net price is $32,908 per year, about $131,632 over four years. That is $14,287 above the $18,621 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $56,201 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,819 below the $62,020 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 Wartburg College #72 of 73 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
