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.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (2.5%), school-wide average net price ($16,721), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($57,346), and peer averages from 1,294 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes.

How big is the program signal?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $57,346 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $980 above the $56,366 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
