Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Fire Protection accounts for 7.6% of reported programs at Waldorf University, which is bigger than 96% of schools in this field set and 4.5x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 139 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Waldorf University's average net price is $19,693 per year, about $78,772 over four years. That is $10,364 above the $9,329 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $51,165 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $7,593 above the $43,572 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 Waldorf University #233 of 245 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
