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 1,022 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($3,047 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($127 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 42% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Health and Medical Administrative Services accounts for 1.1% of reported programs at Western Carolina University, which is bigger than 41% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 114 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $49,458 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $127 below the $49,585 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
