Program Analysis

University of Central Oklahoma's Health and Physical Education/Fitness graduates start at $33,125/yr — above the $31,057 national average, though not by a wide margin.

The 14.3x 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 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $20,500 debt-to-$33,125 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #189 out of 529 programs, University of Central Oklahoma's Health and Physical Education/Fitness offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $33,125 to $45,235 shows 37% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
