Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $59,368 track close to the $59,433 national median for Information Science/Studies programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 20.1x 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 — 68% task exposure — and the 27% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $48,000 debt-to-$59,368 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
A #11 ranking out of 129 Information Science/Studies programs nationally puts Florida Institute of Technology-Online in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.
Earnings growth from $59,368 to $104,378 over five years (76% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
