That award concentration is higher than at 84% of schools in this field set and is 2.4x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $71,517 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,721 above the $65,796 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
