Program Analysis

At $25,253 per year, Health & Physical Education graduates from Brigham Young University earn below the $31,057 national average. Lower costs or geographic factors may offset the earnings gap.

The 15.6x 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 — 25% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $8,987 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

At #435 out of 529 programs, Brigham Young University's financial outcomes for Health & Physical Education trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth is modest: $25,253 to $27,616 over five years (9% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
