Program Analysis

SUNY Oneonta's Accounting and Related Services graduates start at $63,674/yr — above the $53,724 national average, though not by a wide margin.

The 23.1x 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 — 62% task exposure — and the 21% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

Loan repayment is a non-issue here — $27,000 in median debt clears quickly against $63,674 in annual earnings.

A #6 ranking out of 714 programs puts SUNY Oneonta in the top 1% for Accounting and Related Services. By our composite measure, very few programs deliver stronger results.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $63,674 to $91,037 shows 43% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
