Program Analysis

SUNY Oneonta's Health & Physical Education graduates start at $36,119/yr — above the $31,057 national average, though not by a wide margin.

The 13.1x 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 — 25% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $19,000 debt-to-$36,119 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #160 out of 529 programs, SUNY Oneonta's Health & Physical Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
