Program Analysis
Graduates earn $35,564/yr, roughly in line with the $38,916 national median for Public Health. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 12.0x 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 — 48% task exposure — and the 9% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $23,375 debt-to-$35,564 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #90 out of 213 programs, Texas State University's Public Health offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $35,564 to $54,371 over five years (53% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
