Value among peer schools
Compared with 266 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 ($1,131 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($1,258 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 52% ROI position within this field set.
