Program Analysis

At $44,481/yr, Business Administration graduates from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College land near the $46,892 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

At 3.7x tuition cost in decade earnings, the ROI is moderate. This program pays for itself, but it's not a financial slam-dunk.

The 7% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Business Administration career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

The median debt load of $21,350 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

A #944 ranking among 1,169 Business Administration programs places Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.
