Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $61,328 track close to the $62,617 national median for Computer Science programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
At 8.6x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 69% task exposure — and the 15% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $32,477 debt-to-$61,328 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #302 out of 443 programs, ECPI University's financial outcomes for Computer Science trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
Earnings growth is modest: $61,328 to $67,368 over five years (10% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
