Program Analysis
Graduates earn $35,797/yr, roughly in line with the $38,916 national median for Public Health. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 13.6x 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 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $23,000 debt-to-$35,797 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #85 out of 213 programs, University of Arkansas's Public Health offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $35,797 to $51,977 shows 45% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
