Value among peer schools
Compared with 475 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 ($11,790 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($7,776 above). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 85% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communication accounts for 1.5% of reported programs at Xavier University, which is bigger than 67% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 61 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Xavier University's average net price is $32,997 per year, about $131,988 over four years. That is $11,790 above the $21,207 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $64,873 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $7,776 above the $57,097 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 Xavier University #402 of 475 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
