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 155 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.5x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($3,218 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($9,319 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 23% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

How should I read the cost number?
William & Mary's average net price is $19,096 per year, about $76,384 over four years. That is $3,218 below the $22,314 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $73,490 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $9,319 above the $64,171 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
