Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $64,392 track close to the $72,738 national median for Construction Management programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 20.9x 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 — 49% task exposure — and the 13% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $26,000 in median debt against $64,392 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

At #46 out of 56 programs, Morgan State University's financial outcomes for Construction Management trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
