Calculation Logics

Average Wage for a University

$A_{U} = \frac{\sum_D (A_{D} * C_{D})}{\sum_D C_{D}}$

Where,

D = Degree

$A_{D}$ = Average Wage for the Degree

$C_{D}$ = Major Completion for the Degree in the University

$A_{U}$ = Average Wage for the University

Profitability Ratio for a University

$P_{U} = \frac{A_{U}}{F_{U}}$

Where,

$A_{U}$ = Average Wage for the University

$F_{U}$ = State Tuition Fees for the University

$P_{U}$ = Profitability Ratio for the University
