Program Analysis
Graduates earn $31,935/yr, roughly in line with the $31,057 national median for Health and Physical Education/Fitness. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 15.7x 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 — 25% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $24,750 debt-to-$31,935 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #97 out of 529 programs, Lamar University's Health and Physical Education/Fitness program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.
Earnings growth from $31,935 to $53,871 over five years (69% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
