Program Analysis
At $52,156/yr, Finance and Financial Management Services graduates from Oregon State University land near the $55,340 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 13.8x 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 — 55% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $21,000 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #136 out of 431 programs, Oregon State University's Finance and Financial Management Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $52,156 to $81,470 over five years (56% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
