Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Agriculture, General accounts for 3.5% of reported programs at Western Illinois University, which is bigger than 85% of schools in this field set and 2.0x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 155 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Western Illinois University's average net price is $12,937 per year, about $51,748 over four years. That is $731 below the $13,668 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $54,163 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,864 above the $49,299 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 Western Illinois University #46 of 132 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
