Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Special Education and Teaching accounts for 3.4% of reported programs at Carson-Newman University, which is bigger than 83% of schools in this field set and 1.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 48 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $48,382 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,971 below the $54,353 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.

What should I compare next?
