Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $66,852 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $108 above the $66,744 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.

What should I compare next?
