Program Analysis

Keene State College's Health Sciences program produces graduates earning $36,956/yr — within striking distance of the $36,567 national average for this field.

At 8.9x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 43% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$36,956 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #70 out of 156 programs, Keene State College's Health Sciences offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $36,956 to $51,710 shows 40% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
