For 1 of the 24 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 gap between Andrews University and Saint Louis University is $2,843, and the spread from the top of the list to the bottom reaches $35,986.
