Program Analysis

Graduates earn $27,907/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.

At 2.3x tuition cost, the financial math is tight. Decade earnings don't dramatically exceed what you paid, making school choice and aid packages critical.

The 4% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Health and Physical Education/Fitness career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $27,000 against $27,907/yr in earnings, the debt burden is moderate. Most graduates should manage repayment without extended financial strain.

A #457 ranking among 529 Health and Physical Education/Fitness programs places Monmouth University in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.
