Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $62,375 track close to the $59,433 national median for Information Science programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 4.6x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.
AI risk is moderate — 68% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $27,000 in median debt against $62,375 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
At #117 out of 129 programs, Robert Morris University's financial outcomes for Information Science trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
