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.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 141 schools that report this field.

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($3,758 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($22,288 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 50% ROI position within this field set.

The enrollment proxy is about 25 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

What should I compare next?
