Program Analysis
At $51,929/yr, Accounting and Related Services graduates from Franklin University land near the $53,724 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 16.0x 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 — 62% task exposure — and the 13% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $19,792 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #206 out of 714 programs, Franklin University's Accounting and Related Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $51,929 to $64,994 shows 25% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
