Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $44,301 track close to the $46,892 national median for Business Administration programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

At 6.8x 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 10% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $20,500 in median debt against $44,301 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

At #690 out of 1,169 programs, University of Sioux Falls's financial outcomes for Business Administration trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $44,301 to $61,651 shows 39% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
