What does the share of awards mean?
Computer Software and Media Applications accounts for 9.8% of the awards or completions reported for The New School. That award concentration is higher than at 97% of schools in this field set and is 6.1x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $52,901 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,305 above the $50,596 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
