What does the share of awards mean?
Sociology and Anthropology accounts for 2.4% of the awards or completions reported for Guilford College. That award concentration is higher than at 74% of schools in this field set and is 1.7x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $47,590 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $13,218 below the $60,808 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
