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 (2.2%), school-wide average net price ($30,177), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($73,897), and peer averages from 1,294 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.

How big is the program signal?
History accounts for 2.2% of reported programs at Wesleyan University, which is bigger than 86% of schools in this field set and 1.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 67 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Wesleyan University's average net price is $30,177 per year, about $120,708 over four years. That is $10,724 above the $19,453 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $73,897 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $17,531 above the $56,366 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 Wesleyan University #886 of 1,294 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
