Program Analysis

At $26,216/yr, Arts, Entertainment,and Media Management graduates from SUNY at Fredonia land near the $28,555 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The 13.2x 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 — 52% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $23,625 debt-to-$26,216 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #20 out of 43 programs, SUNY at Fredonia's Arts, Entertainment,and Media Management offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $26,216 to $36,972 shows 41% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
