Program Analysis
At $32,989/yr, Social Work graduates from Bowie State University land near the $36,554 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 16.6x 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 — 24% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $23,500 debt-to-$32,989 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #107 out of 338 programs, Bowie State University's Social Work offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $32,989 to $56,184 over five years (70% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
