Program Analysis

Graduates earn $44,934/yr, roughly in line with the $46,892 national median for Business Administration. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 17.3x 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 9% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $44,934 far exceeding the $19,703 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

Ranked #264 out of 1,169 programs, Mayville State University's Business Administration program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $44,934 to $59,302 shows 32% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
