The reported share is 1.9x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($4,609 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,119 below).

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $52,234 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,119 below the $54,353 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
