Program Analysis

Graduates earn $55,402/yr, roughly in line with the $62,617 national median for Computer Science. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 15.9x 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 — 69% task exposure — and the 22% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $55,402 far exceeding the $25,000 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

Ranked #202 out of 443 programs, Millersville University of Pennsylvania's Computer Science offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $55,402 to $81,132 shows 46% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
