Program Analysis

Graduates earn $32,266/yr, roughly in line with the $36,567 national median for Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 10.8x 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 — 43% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $29,000 debt-to-$32,266 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #123 out of 156 programs, Prairie View A & M University's financial outcomes for Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $32,266 to $45,372 shows 41% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
