Program Analysis
Graduates earn $48,276/yr, roughly in line with the $55,340 national median for Finance and Financial Management Services. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 10.1x 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 — 55% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
With first-year pay of $48,276 far exceeding the $12,750 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.
At #380 out of 431 programs, University of Minnesota-Crookston's financial outcomes for Finance and Financial Management Services trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
