That award concentration is higher than at 86% of schools in this field set and is 1.7x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $93,807 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $40,067 above the $53,740 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
