Salary and Debt by Major at National University

We calculated a salary score for each of National University's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data.

A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program.

Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

Nobody answers the phone no matter what number you call. Getting someone to call me back os a major issue as well.
