Program Analysis

At $29,298/yr, Health & Physical Education graduates from Biola University land near the $31,057 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

An earnings multiple of 2.3x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.

AI risk is moderate — 25% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $25,812 debt-to-$29,298 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #439 out of 529 programs, Biola University's financial outcomes for Health & Physical Education trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
