Bars show each program’s overall score under these priorities. A figure a program hasn’t published is a fill-in, as in the full rankings: a missing graduation rate or cost is scored at the 40th percentile of programs that publish it; missing graduates’ pay is filled in at the state’s median new-grad pay.
