Program Analysis
Graduates earn $26,544/yr, roughly in line with the $31,057 national median for Health and Physical Education/Fitness. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
An earnings multiple of 2.2x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.
AI risk is moderate — 25% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,000 debt load exceeds a year of the $26,544 starting salary, suggesting a multi-year repayment window before graduates break even financially.
At #476 out of 529 programs, Western New England University's financial outcomes for Health and Physical Education/Fitness trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
