Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $48,880 track close to the $46,892 national median for Business Administration programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 46.4x 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 — 47% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $11,000 in median debt against $48,880 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #137 out of 1,169 programs, Broward College's Business Administration program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.

Earnings growth is modest: $48,880 to $55,611 over five years (14% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
