Program Analysis

College of Central Florida's Business Administration program produces graduates earning $40,202/yr — within striking distance of the $46,892 national average for this field.

The 44.9x 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 — 47% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $24,238 debt-to-$40,202 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #469 out of 1,169 programs, College of Central Florida's Business Administration offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth is modest: $40,202 to $46,695 over five years (16% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
