What does the share of awards mean?
Biopsychology accounts for 1.4% of the awards or completions reported for Simmons University. That award concentration is higher than at 59% 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?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $63,494 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,553 above the $58,941 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 Simmons University #12 of 22 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
