Program Analysis
Starting salaries of $25,727/yr fall 30% below the $36,567 national median for Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences. The financial case depends heavily on whether tuition compensates.
An earnings multiple of 2.5x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.
AI risk is moderate — 43% task exposure — and the -1% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,078 debt-to-$25,727 income ratio translates to about 12 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #154 out of 156 programs, Marymount University's financial outcomes for Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
