This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 3.2x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($7,352 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($6,264 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 25% ROI position within this field set.
