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 174 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 2.4x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($3,809 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($1,573 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 31% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Biotechnology accounts for 1.4% of reported programs at Worcester State University, which is bigger than 91% of schools in this field set and 2.4x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 55 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Worcester State University's average net price is $13,381 per year, about $53,524 over four years. That is $3,809 below the $17,190 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $60,624 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,573 above the $59,051 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 Worcester State University #54 of 174 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
