Program Analysis

At $65,745 per year, International Business graduates from Utah State University significantly outpace the $50,501 national average for this major, reflecting strong employer demand for this program's graduates.

The 16.5x 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 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $14,864 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

Ranked #37 out of 103 programs, Utah State University's International Business offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
