Program Analysis

Graduates earn $48,700/yr, roughly in line with the $46,892 national median for Business Administration. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 3.3x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 47% task exposure — and the 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $25,000 debt-to-$48,700 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #794 out of 1,169 programs, Franklin Pierce University's financial outcomes for Business Administration trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $48,700 to $66,438 shows 36% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
