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

The reported share is 3.2x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($1,682 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($16,615 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 34% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Neurobiology and Neurosciences accounts for 4.8% of reported programs at Wellesley College, which is bigger than 96% of schools in this field set and 3.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 110 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
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 $1,682 above the $23,814 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 $16,615 above the $68,188 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 #108 of 314 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
