Program Analysis
At $54,509/yr, Finance and Financial Management Services graduates from Kansas State University land near the $55,340 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 15.2x 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 — 55% task exposure — and the 14% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $23,250 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #119 out of 431 programs, Kansas State University's Finance and Financial Management Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $54,509 to $73,166 shows 34% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
