What does the share of awards mean?
Journalism accounts for 2.4% of the awards or completions reported for University of Oregon. That award concentration is higher than at 93% of schools in this field set and is 2.5x 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?
University of Oregon's average net price is $22,182 per year, about $88,728 over four years. That is $2,916 above the $19,266 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $61,324 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,584 above 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?
Start with award concentration, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify places University of Oregon #243 of 413 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
