Program Analysis
Graduates earn $60,023/yr, edging above the $55,340 national average for Finance and Financial Management Services — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
The 12.1x 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 — 55% task exposure — and the 15% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $25,500 in median debt against $60,023 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #131 out of 431 programs, Central Michigan University's Finance and Financial Management Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $60,023 to $77,035 shows 28% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
