Program Analysis
Graduates earn $35,265/yr, edging above the $32,281 national average for History — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
An earnings multiple of 2.9x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.
AI risk is moderate — 44% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,000 debt-to-$35,265 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #352 out of 389 programs, Presbyterian College's financial outcomes for History trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $35,265 to $47,096 shows 34% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
