Program Analysis

Graduates earn $54,264/yr, roughly in line with the $53,724 national median for Accounting and Related Services. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

At 8.7x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 62% task exposure — and the 13% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $45,916 debt-to-$54,264 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #401 out of 714 programs, DeVry University-California's financial outcomes for Accounting and Related Services trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $54,264 to $65,249 shows 20% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
