Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $41,000 track close to the $43,277 national median for Business/Corporate Communications programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 3.2x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.
AI risk is moderate — 63% task exposure — and the 9% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $26,000 debt-to-$41,000 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #12 out of 14 programs, Stevenson University's financial outcomes for Business/Corporate Communications trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $41,000 to $52,144 shows 27% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
