How big is the program signal?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $70,204 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $15,682 above the $54,522 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
