Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Homeland Security accounts for 3.1% of reported programs at Bethel University, which is bigger than 92% of schools in this field set and 2.9x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 47 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Bethel University's average net price is $12,595 per year, about $50,380 over four years. That is $4,472 below the $17,067 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $47,482 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,943 below the $51,425 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 Bethel University #86 of 223 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
