Program Analysis

At $37,473 per year, Health & Physical Education graduates from Augsburg University earn slightly above the $31,057 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

At 3.0x 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 $37,473/yr in earnings, the debt burden is moderate. Most graduates should manage repayment without extended financial strain.

A #310 ranking among 529 Health & Physical Education programs places Augsburg University in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.

A 46% earnings increase from $37,473 to $54,826 over five years is solid — not a moonshot, but evidence of normal career advancement.
