Value among peer schools
Compared with 600 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.5x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($16,340 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($9,951 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 99% ROI position within this field set.
