Value among peer schools
Compared with 475 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($2,402 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($5,593 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 52% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communication accounts for 1.7% of reported programs at Manchester University, which is bigger than 72% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 15 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Manchester University's average net price is $18,805 per year, about $75,220 over four years. That is $2,402 below the $21,207 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $51,504 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,593 below the $57,097 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 Manchester University #247 of 475 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
