The percentage is the share of this school's reported awards or completions attributed to the field. It is not the share of enrolled students, a student headcount, or proof of department quality. College Scorecard price and earnings on this page are school-wide, not major-specific. Verify current credentials and department outcomes with the school. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.

What does the share of awards mean?
Dentistry accounts for 1.6% of the awards or completions reported for Boston University. That award concentration is higher than at 63% of schools in this field set and is below 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?
Boston University's average net price is $24,402 per year, about $97,608 over four years. That is $2,494 above the $21,908 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $83,238 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $13,255 above the $69,983 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Boston University's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 Boston University #24 of 46 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
