Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $45,396 track close to the $50,501 national median for International Business programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
At 9.4x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 51% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,772 debt-to-$45,396 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #80 out of 103 programs, Kean University's financial outcomes for International Business trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
