Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Animal Sciences accounts for 1.3% of reported programs at Dordt University, which is bigger than 55% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 21 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $52,559 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,973 below the $54,532 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.

What should I compare next?
