Program Analysis
Graduates earn $43,585/yr, edging above the $38,382 national average for Legal Support Services — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
The 11.7x 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 — 61% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,155 debt-to-$43,585 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #10 out of 36 programs, Minnesota State University Moorhead's Legal Support Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $43,585 to $46,591 over five years (7% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
