Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $38,685 track close to the $38,916 national median for Public Health programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

At 7.7x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 48% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $43,815 debt load exceeds a year of the $38,685 starting salary, suggesting a multi-year repayment window before graduates break even financially.

At #131 out of 213 programs, Florida National University-Main Campus's financial outcomes for Public Health trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $38,685 to $47,557 shows 23% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
