What does the share of awards mean?
Journalism accounts for 1.4% of the awards or completions reported for Texas Southern University. That award concentration is higher than at 83% 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?
Texas Southern University's average net price is $16,590 per year, about $66,360 over four years. That is $2,676 below the $19,266 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $38,924 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $16,816 below the $55,740 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
