For 1 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 spread from Champlain College to the bottom of the list is $66,341, and the gap between Champlain College and Robert Morris University is $11,195.
