Program Analysis

Graduates earn $45,999/yr, roughly in line with the $46,892 national median for Business Administration. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

With a 15.3x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 8% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Business Administration career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

With first-year pay of $45,999 far exceeding the $19,333 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

A #411 ranking among 1,169 Business Administration programs places University of Wisconsin-Superior in the middle-to-upper range. Solid, not exceptional.

The limited growth from $45,999 to $53,947 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
