What does the share of awards mean?
Computer Science accounts for 5.9% of the awards or completions reported for Brandeis University. That award concentration is higher than at 93% of schools in this field set and is 2.4x 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?
Brandeis University's average net price is $35,736 per year, about $142,944 over four years. That is $17,333 above the $18,403 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $77,231 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $20,711 above the $56,520 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 Brandeis University #749 of 882 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
