Value among peer schools
Compared with 640 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($3,480 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($14,846 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 64% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Public Health accounts for 2% of reported programs at Tennessee State University, which is bigger than 68% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 99 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $42,730 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $14,846 below the $57,576 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 Tennessee State University #410 of 640 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
