Value among peer schools
Compared with 342 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($6,151 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($4,116 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 75% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $61,462 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,116 above the $57,346 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 Elmhurst University #257 of 342 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
