Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $40,368 track close to the $46,892 national median for Business Administration programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 44.4x 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 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $10,050 in median debt against $40,368 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #415 out of 1,169 programs, Indian River State College's Business Administration offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $40,368 to $47,431 over five years (17% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
