Program Analysis

At $61,856 per year, Accounting and Related Services graduates from Ohio University-Eastern Campus earn slightly above the $53,724 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

The 29.1x 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 — 62% task exposure — and the 18% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $25,500 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $61,856 to $80,032 shows 29% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
