Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $35,554 track close to the $38,299 national median for Animal Health Technologies programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 4.3x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.
AI risk is moderate — 29% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $28,000 debt-to-$35,554 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #13 out of 13 programs, Wilson College's financial outcomes for Animal Health Technologies trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
Earnings growth is modest: $35,554 to $42,260 over five years (19% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
