Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Statistics accounts for 1.3% of reported programs at Cornell University, which is bigger than 88% of schools in this field set and 2.1x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 211 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $104,043 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $37,187 above the $66,856 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 Cornell University #106 of 248 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
