How big is the program signal?

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $90,779 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $21,599 above the $69,180 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.

What should I compare next?
