What does the share of awards mean?
Biological and Physical Sciences accounts for 1.4% of the awards or completions reported for Dominican University. That award concentration is higher than at 48% of schools in this field set and is below the national average award concentration. It does not estimate how many students are currently enrolled in the program.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $60,327 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $7,403 above the $52,924 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
