Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Science, Technology and Society accounts for 3.3% of reported programs at Wesleyan University, which is bigger than 96% of schools in this field set and 4.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 100 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 $7,254 above the $22,923 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 $4,236 below the $78,133 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 #42 of 51 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
