How big is the program signal?
International Relations and National Security Studies accounts for 2.7% of reported programs at Transylvania University, which is bigger than 90% of schools in this field set and 2.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 27 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Transylvania University's average net price is $21,913 per year, about $87,652 over four years. That is $442 below the $22,355 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,705 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,754 below the $63,459 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 Transylvania University #236 of 366 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
