Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $58,407 track close to the $62,617 national median for Computer Science programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 16.1x 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 — 69% task exposure — and the 15% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $25,000 in median debt against $58,407 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #221 out of 443 programs, Troy University's Computer Science offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $58,407 to $66,404 over five years (14% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
