Program Analysis

Graduates earn $30,861/yr, roughly in line with the $34,873 national median for International/Global Studies. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 19.0x 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 — 24% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $18,480 debt-to-$30,861 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #34 out of 81 programs, University of North Florida's International/Global Studies offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $30,861 to $44,186 shows 43% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
