We put all schools on the following chart by plotting tuition change between 2010 and 2014 against Job Outcomes in 2014. For public schools, we use resident tuition. "LT, FT BPR" means a job that is long term (a job with an indefinite duration or fixed duration of 1 year or more), full time (at least 35 hours per week) bar passage required (job requires a law license).
