Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Special Education and Teaching accounts for 3.6% of reported programs at Western Oregon University, which is bigger than 84% of schools in this field set and 1.8x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 111 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Western Oregon University's average net price is $17,237 per year, about $68,948 over four years. That is $1,481 below the $18,718 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $51,815 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,538 below the $54,353 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 Oregon University #411 of 827 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
