What does the share of awards mean?
Data Processing accounts for 1.2% of the awards or completions reported for Midlands Technical College. That award concentration is higher than at 74% of schools in this field set and is above 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?
Midlands Technical College's average net price is $4,647 per year, about $18,588 over four years. That is $9,962 below the $14,609 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $38,701 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $10,924 below the $49,625 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 Midlands Technical College #7 of 57 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
