Program Analysis
Graduates earn $26,119/yr, roughly in line with the $25,391 national median for Fine and Studio Arts. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
At 8.6x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 36% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $18,906 debt-to-$26,119 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #118 out of 385 programs, Rowan University's Fine and Studio Arts offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $26,119 to $51,253 over five years (96% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
