What does the share of awards mean?
Political Science and Government accounts for 10.5% of the awards or completions reported for Arizona Christian University. That award concentration is higher than at 99% of schools in this field set and is 5.8x the national average award concentration.

How should I read the cost number?
Arizona Christian University's average net price is $32,839 per year, about $131,356 over four years. That is $13,245 above the $19,594 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $51,612 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,345 below the $56,957 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
