How big is the program signal?
Radio, Television, and Digital Communication accounts for 5.5% of reported programs at Towson University, which is bigger than 96% of schools in this field set and 4.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 884 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Towson University's average net price is $17,413 per year, about $69,652 over four years. That is $1,577 below the $18,990 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $64,390 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $9,323 above the $55,067 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 Towson University #160 of 448 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
