What does the share of awards mean?
Genetics accounts for 1.2% of the awards or completions reported for Augustana University. That award concentration is higher than at 97% of schools in this field set and is 2.8x the national average award concentration. It does not estimate how many students are currently enrolled in the program.
How should I read the cost number?
Augustana University's average net price is $23,894 per year, about $95,576 over four years. That is $2,498 above the $21,396 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $59,217 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $10,676 below the $69,893 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 award concentration, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify places Augustana University #65 of 79 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
