What does the share of awards mean?
Fire Protection accounts for 4.8% of the awards or completions reported for Methodist University. That award concentration is higher than at 92% of schools in this field set and is 2.8x 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 University's average net price is $24,704 per year, about $98,816 over four years. That is $15,375 above the $9,329 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $48,050 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,478 above the $43,572 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 University #240 of 245 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
