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 1,964 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 ($4,198 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($3,816 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 29% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Business Administration, Management and Operations accounts for 8.4% of reported programs at Western Illinois University, which is bigger than 52% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 371 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,163 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,816 above the $50,347 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 Western Illinois University #577 of 1,964 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
