Value among peer schools
Compared with 87 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 lower than the peer average ($2,481 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($20,840 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 76% ROI position within this field set.
