What does the share of awards mean?

Mechanical Engineering accounts for 3.9% of the awards or completions reported for Bradley University. That award concentration is higher than at 75% of schools in this field set and is above the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $66,852 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,722 above the $64,130 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
