Program Analysis
At $47,836/yr, Accounting and Related Services graduates from Governors State University land near the $53,724 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 13.6x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.
AI risk is moderate — 62% task exposure — and the 13% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $18,750 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #318 out of 714 programs, Governors State University's Accounting and Related Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $47,836 to $64,348 shows 35% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
