clears the baron the line (<8% above)below the bar· dot size = students enrolled
How the bar works: a graduate program is measured against the lowest of three bachelor's-pay benchmarks (same-state same-field, same-state, national same-field) — state shading shows that bar for in-state programs. Schools that mainly enroll online or out-of-state students aren't pinned — their students live nationwide — they're in the tray below. Simulated from Dept. of Education PPD:2026 — not an official determination.
NOT ON THE MAP — ONLINE & OUT-OF-STATE-HEAVY SCHOOLS their students live nationwide, so a campus pin would mislead · each row shows its own bar
