What does the share of awards mean?
Human Services, General accounts for 1.3% of the awards or completions reported for Lander University. That award concentration is higher than at 43% 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?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $42,396 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,107 below the $47,503 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 Lander University #219 of 344 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
