Program Analysis

Graduates earn $29,525/yr, roughly in line with the $31,057 national median for Health & Physical Education. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 12.6x 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 — 25% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $23,348 debt-to-$29,525 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #293 out of 529 programs, University of Wisconsin-Superior's financial outcomes for Health & Physical Education trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
