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
Compared with 59 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 3.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($9,259 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($10,011 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 76% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education accounts for 2% of reported programs at Wesleyan University, which is bigger than 90% of schools in this field set and 3.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 62 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 $9,259 above the $20,918 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 $10,011 above the $63,886 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 #45 of 59 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
