Program Analysis

Graduates earn $56,286/yr, edging above the $46,892 national average for Business Administration — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 10.4x 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 — 47% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $21,750 in median debt against $56,286 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

A #71 ranking out of 1,169 Business Administration programs nationally puts The College of New Jersey in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.

Earnings growth from $56,286 to $98,541 over five years (75% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
