Value among peer schools
Compared with 1,495 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 2.1x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($9,010 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($12,300 below). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 21% ROI position within this field set.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $39,095 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $12,300 below the $51,395 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
