Value among peer schools
Compared with 492 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 ($1,672 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($3,243 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 68% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Film/Video and Photographic Arts accounts for 1.7% of reported programs at Montana State University, which is bigger than 77% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 251 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $53,263 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,243 below the $56,506 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 #336 of 492 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
