Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $48,829 track close to the $55,289 national median for Computer Engineering Technologies/Technicians programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
At 9.9x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 67% task exposure — and the 19% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $49,107 debt load exceeds a year of the $48,829 starting salary, suggesting a multi-year repayment window before graduates break even financially.
At #16 out of 29 programs, DeVry University-Virginia's financial outcomes for Computer Engineering Technologies/Technicians trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
Earnings growth from $48,829 to $81,090 over five years (66% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
