That award concentration is higher than at 89% of schools in this field set and is 2.2x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $61,824 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,964 above the $55,860 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
