What does the share of awards mean?
Law accounts for 2.5% of the awards or completions reported for New York University. That award concentration is higher than at 36% 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?
New York University's average net price is $37,050 per year, about $148,200 over four years. That is $13,254 above the $23,796 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $82,509 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $14,250 above the $68,259 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 New York University #136 of 174 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
