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 ($19,859), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($53,861), and peer averages from 1,007 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.
Value among peer schools

How big is the program signal?
Sociology accounts for 2.5% of reported programs at Westminster College, which is bigger than 83% of schools in this field set and 1.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 26 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $53,861 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,941 below the $56,802 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
