What does the share of awards mean?
Gerontology accounts for 2.3% of the awards or completions reported for Methodist College. That award concentration is higher than at 98% of schools in this field set and is 7.4x 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?
Methodist College's average net price is $41,787 per year, about $167,148 over four years. That is $23,464 above the $18,323 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $69,800 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $12,289 above the $57,511 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 Methodist College #114 of 117 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
