Program Analysis

Graduates earn $32,819/yr, roughly in line with the $34,873 national median for International/Global Studies. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

AI risk is moderate — 24% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At #51 out of 81 programs, Wright State University-Main Campus's financial outcomes for International/Global Studies trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
