Law accounts for 2.4% of the awards or completions reported for University of California-Berkeley. That award concentration is higher than at 33% 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.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $92,446 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $24,187 above the $68,259 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
