Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $29,632 track close to the $31,057 national median for Health & Physical Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 13.9x 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 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $24,723 debt-to-$29,632 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #191 out of 529 programs, Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi's Health & Physical Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $29,632 to $52,328 over five years (77% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
