What does the share of awards mean?
Architecture accounts for 1% of the awards or completions reported for Kean University. That award concentration is higher than at 67% 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.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $57,237 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,313 below the $65,550 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 Kean University #35 of 123 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
