Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $36,036 track close to the $36,684 national median for Political Science and Government programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 16.0x 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 — 50% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $19,383 debt-to-$36,036 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #166 out of 521 programs, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Political Science and Government offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $36,036 to $53,635 shows 49% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
