What does the share of awards mean?
Taxation accounts for 1.9% of the awards or completions reported for Bentley University. That award concentration is higher than at 96% of schools in this field set and is 4.7x 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?
Bentley University's average net price is $37,930 per year, about $151,720 over four years. That is $17,882 above the $20,048 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $120,959 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $58,510 above the $62,449 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 Bentley University #48 of 82 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
