The reported share is 3.4x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($3,171 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($8,848 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 87% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Food Science and Technology accounts for 2.3% of reported programs at Mount Mary University, which is bigger than 96% of schools in this field set and 3.4x 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?
Mount Mary University's average net price is $20,144 per year, about $80,576 over four years. That is $3,171 above the $16,973 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $48,745 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,848 below the $57,593 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 Mount Mary University #94 of 108 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
