How should I read the cost number?
Montana State University's average net price is $22,499 per year, about $89,996 over four years. That is $6,718 above the $15,781 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $53,263 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,172 above the $52,091 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 Montana State University #71 of 83 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
