Program Analysis

Graduates earn $65,585/yr, roughly in line with the $71,754 national median for Construction Engineering Technologies. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 13.2x 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 — 51% task exposure — and the 14% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $65,585 far exceeding the $24,225 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

At #32 out of 45 programs, University of Toledo's financial outcomes for Construction Engineering Technologies trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $65,585 to $79,425 shows 21% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
