Value among peer schools
Compared with 411 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 5.7x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($4,196 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($405 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 75% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Public Administration accounts for 7.2% of reported programs at Barry University, which is bigger than 98% of schools in this field set and 5.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 160 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Barry University's average net price is $22,613 per year, about $90,452 over four years. That is $4,196 above the $18,417 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $55,966 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $405 below the $56,371 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 Barry University #308 of 411 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
