What does the share of awards mean?
Public Health accounts for 1.3% of the awards or completions reported for Jackson State University. That award concentration is higher than at 55% of schools in this field set and is below 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?
Jackson State University's average net price is $23,836 per year, about $95,344 over four years. That is $4,560 above the $19,276 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $39,060 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $18,516 below the $57,576 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
