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.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (0.2%), school-wide average net price ($14,971), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($68,905), and peer averages from 125 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. 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 125 schools that report this field.

How big is the program signal?
Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research accounts for 0.2% of reported programs at Washington State University, which is bigger than 65% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 51 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Washington State University's average net price is $14,971 per year, about $59,884 over four years. That is $5,056 below the $20,027 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $68,905 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $6,419 above the $62,486 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 Washington State University #21 of 125 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
