Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $37,624 place College of Charleston below the $50,501 national median for International Business — worth weighing against tuition and cost of living.
The 13.8x 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 — 51% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $19,500 debt-to-$37,624 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #51 out of 103 programs, College of Charleston's International Business offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $37,624 to $78,969 over five years (110% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
