Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $65,648 track close to the $69,097 national median for Civil Engineering programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 21.1x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.
AI risk is moderate — 49% task exposure — and the 15% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $26,880 in median debt against $65,648 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #71 out of 220 programs, Boise State University's Civil Engineering offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $65,648 to $79,687 shows 21% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
