Program Analysis
Graduates earn $38,652/yr, roughly in line with the $44,286 national median for Air Transportation. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
Every dollar of in-state tuition returns an estimated 12.2x in decade earnings — an exceptional ratio that places this among the highest-ROI Air Transportation programs nationally.
Some AI exposure exists in Air Transportation's typical career paths, with 33% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 5% gap from the optimistic case.
Median debt of $20,500 represents roughly 6 months of the $38,652 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.
Ranked #43 of 54 Air Transportation programs, University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
