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 ($2,655 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($11,803 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 87% ROI position within this field set.
