Value among peer schools
Compared with 111 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($18,345 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($24,229 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 93% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Physical Sciences, General accounts for 1.1% of reported programs at Wesleyan University, which is bigger than 64% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 33 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Wesleyan University's average net price is $30,177 per year, about $120,708 over four years. That is $18,345 above the $11,832 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $73,897 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $24,229 above the $49,668 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 Wesleyan University #103 of 111 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
