Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Anthropology accounts for 1.2% of reported programs at Idaho State University, which is bigger than 84% of schools in this field set and 1.8x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 92 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Idaho State University's average net price is $12,193 per year, about $48,772 over four years. That is $6,405 below the $18,598 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $45,608 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $15,113 below the $60,721 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 Idaho State University #202 of 512 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
