What does the share of awards mean?
Political Science and Government accounts for 1.1% of the awards or completions reported for Woodbury University. That award concentration is higher than at 44% 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.
How should I read the cost number?
Woodbury University's average net price is $33,692 per year, about $134,768 over four years. That is $14,098 above the $19,594 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $65,668 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,711 above the $56,957 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 Woodbury University #1,061 of 1,174 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
