Program Analysis

CUNY York College's Business Administration program produces graduates earning $42,499/yr — within striking distance of the $46,892 national average for this field.

The 17.6x 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 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

Loan repayment is a non-issue here — $11,000 in median debt clears quickly against $42,499 in annual earnings.

Ranked #433 out of 1,169 programs, CUNY York College's Business Administration offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $42,499 to $52,751 shows 24% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
