Program Analysis

Lasell University's Health and Physical Education/Fitness graduates start at $36,606/yr — above the $31,057 national average, though not by a wide margin.

The 5.0x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 25% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$36,606 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #231 out of 529 programs, Lasell University's Health and Physical Education/Fitness offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $36,606 to $51,987 shows 42% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
