How big is the program signal?
Accounting and Related Services accounts for 3.2% of reported programs at Dakota State University, which is bigger than 73% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 67 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Dakota State University's average net price is $21,057 per year, about $84,228 over four years. That is $4,241 above the $16,816 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $50,970 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $312 above the $50,658 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 Dakota State University #1,182 of 1,603 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
