Value among peer schools
Compared with 29 schools that report this field.

The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($5,641 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($24,568 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 72% ROI position within this field set.
