That award concentration is higher than at 97% of schools in this field set and is 4.6x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $66,651 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,211 below the $67,862 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
