The reported share is 1.7x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($18,629 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($18,829 above).

How big is the program signal?
Social Work accounts for 6.6% of reported programs at Loyola University Chicago, which is bigger than 86% of schools in this field set and 1.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 770 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Loyola University Chicago's average net price is $36,079 per year, about $144,316 over four years. That is $18,629 above the $17,450 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $71,530 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $18,829 above the $52,701 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 Loyola University Chicago #647 of 725 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
