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.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 285 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 ($104 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,042 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 59% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Industrial Production Technologies/Technicians accounts for 0.8% of reported programs at Western Kentucky University, which is bigger than 58% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 100 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $43,889 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,042 below the $45,931 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
