Program Analysis
Graduates earn $30,716/yr, edging above the $28,116 national average for Music — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
At 6.7x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 47% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,000 debt-to-$30,716 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #86 out of 240 programs, University of New Hampshire-Main Campus's Music offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $30,716 to $49,668 over five years (62% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
