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 (3.4%), school-wide average net price ($25,496), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($84,803), and peer averages from 872 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

How big is the program signal?

How should I read the cost number?
Wellesley College's average net price is $25,496 per year, about $101,984 over four years. That is $5,933 above the $19,563 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $84,803 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $27,385 above the $57,418 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 Wellesley College #367 of 872 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
