Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $30,426 track close to the $31,057 national median for Health & Physical Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 3.5x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.
AI risk is moderate — 25% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,000 debt-to-$30,426 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #455 out of 529 programs, Ottawa University-Ottawa's financial outcomes for Health & Physical Education trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $30,426 to $45,345 shows 49% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
