How big is the program signal?
Teacher Education and Professional Development, Specific Levels and Methods accounts for 7.3% of reported programs at Central College, which is bigger than 83% of schools in this field set and 1.6x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 79 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Central College's average net price is $23,377 per year, about $93,508 over four years. That is $5,845 above the $17,532 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,317 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,922 above the $51,395 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 Central College #1,133 of 1,495 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
