That award concentration is higher than at 86% of schools in this field set and is 1.8x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $51,688 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,550 below the $56,238 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
