Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $27,354 track close to the $30,427 national median for English programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
An earnings multiple of 3.2x means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition, but not by a dramatic margin. Returns are positive but modest.
Some AI exposure exists in English's typical career paths, with 61% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a -0% gap from the optimistic case.
Median debt of $26,000 represents roughly 11 months of the $27,354 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.
Ranked #415 of 493 English programs, Franciscan University of Steubenville falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
