Program Analysis

Graduates earn $67,315/yr, edging above the $62,617 national average for Computer Science — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 13.8x 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 — 69% task exposure — and the 22% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $37,500 debt-to-$67,315 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #165 out of 443 programs, Strayer University-Tennessee's Computer Science offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $67,315 to $83,581 shows 24% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
