Computer Engineering at Old Dominion University

At $70,298/yr, Computer Engineering graduates from Old Dominion University land near the $78,694 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

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 — 71% task exposure — and the 29% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $23,000 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

Ranked #61 out of 174 programs, Old Dominion University's Computer Engineering offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth from $70,298 to $109,053 over five years (55% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
