Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $54,748 track close to the $59,611 national median for Management Information Systems and Services programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 13.0x 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 — 73% task exposure — and the 18% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $25,000 in median debt against $54,748 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

At #88 out of 153 programs, Old Dominion University's financial outcomes for Management Information Systems and Services trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $54,748 to $69,560 shows 27% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
