Program Analysis
At $40,721/yr, City/Urban, Community and Regional Planning graduates from Miami University-Oxford land near the $42,023 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
At 6.7x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 34% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,000 debt-to-$40,721 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #13 out of 15 programs, Miami University-Oxford's financial outcomes for City/Urban, Community and Regional Planning trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
