Program Analysis

Graduates earn $46,628/yr, roughly in line with the $53,724 national median for Accounting and Related Services. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

At 9.9x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 62% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $40,625 debt-to-$46,628 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #608 out of 714 programs, American InterContinental University System's financial outcomes for Accounting and Related Services trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth is modest: $46,628 to $48,340 over five years (4% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
