Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $28,609 track close to the $31,057 national median for Health & Physical Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The financial case is thin at 2.4x — decade earnings barely exceed the cost of attendance. The value proposition here is driven by factors beyond pure ROI.
Some AI exposure exists in Health & Physical Education's typical career paths, with 25% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 4% gap from the optimistic case.
Median debt of $26,000 represents roughly 11 months of the $28,609 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.
Ranked #444 of 529 Health & Physical Education programs, Dean College falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
