Program Analysis

At $37,151 per year, Hospitality Administration/Management graduates from Indiana University-Indianapolis earn slightly above the $35,217 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

The 11.9x 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 — 47% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $20,500 debt-to-$37,151 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #56 out of 135 programs, Indiana University-Indianapolis's Hospitality Administration/Management offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $37,151 to $48,176 shows 30% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
