Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Special Education and Teaching accounts for 7.9% of reported programs at Lamar University, which is bigger than 96% of schools in this field set and 4.0x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 647 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $49,652 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,701 below the $54,353 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 Lamar University #93 of 827 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
