What does the share of awards mean?
Geography and Cartography accounts for 1.2% of the awards or completions reported for Salisbury University. That award concentration is higher than at 91% of schools in this field set and is 2.3x 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?
Salisbury University's average net price is $17,743 per year, about $70,972 over four years. That is $2,080 above the $15,663 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $61,515 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,494 above the $56,021 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 Salisbury University #220 of 395 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
