That award concentration is higher than at 87% of schools in this field set and is 2.0x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $61,675 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,784 below the $63,459 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 Florida State University #27 of 366 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
