Program Analysis

Graduates earn $37,883/yr, roughly in line with the $38,916 national median for Public Health. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 18.7x 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 — 48% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $23,875 debt-to-$37,883 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #77 out of 213 programs, Ohio University-Eastern Campus's Public Health offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
