Program Analysis

Albion College's Health & Physical Education program produces graduates earning $30,314/yr — within striking distance of the $31,057 national average for this field.

At 2.5x tuition cost, the financial math is tight. Decade earnings don't dramatically exceed what you paid, making school choice and aid packages critical.

The 7% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Health & Physical Education career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $27,000 against $30,314/yr in earnings, the debt burden is moderate. Most graduates should manage repayment without extended financial strain.

A #456 ranking among 529 Health & Physical Education programs places Albion College in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.

The $30,314-to-$55,671 earnings arc over five years reflects a 84% gain — well above average career growth for recent graduates.
