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 279 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 5.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($7,140 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($3,869 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 10% ROI position within this field set.

Are the earnings major-specific?
