Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $41,957 track close to the $48,075 national median for Agricultural Business and Management programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 4.2x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 48% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $23,250 debt-to-$41,957 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #74 out of 77 programs, Wilmington College's financial outcomes for Agricultural Business and Management trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $41,957 to $54,845 shows 31% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
