Program Analysis

Graduates earn $41,575/yr, roughly in line with the $46,252 national median for Health and Medical Administrative Services. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 14.6x 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 — 54% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $22,712 debt-to-$41,575 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #140 out of 262 programs, Southwestern Oklahoma State University's financial outcomes for Health and Medical Administrative Services trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
