Program Analysis

Graduates earn $46,868/yr, edging above the $39,530 national average for International Relations — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 3.7x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 47% task exposure — and the 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $22,500 in median debt against $46,868 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #36 out of 106 programs, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott's International Relations offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $46,868 to $69,283 shows 48% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
