For 2 of the 15 listed programs the figure is the two-year completion median rather than the four-year one. The metric does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The range from SUNY Oneonta to the bottom of the list spans $31,276, and the gap between SUNY Oneonta and Long Island University is just $725.
