Why net price and earnings matter
The sticker price is not what most students pay. Net price is the average cost after grants and scholarships, and it varies a lot by family income – we show it for five income brackets. Graduate earnings come from federal tax records and show the typical salary of students 10 years after they enrolled, and for individual programs, one to five years after graduation.
