Program Analysis

Graduates earn $46,439/yr, roughly in line with the $46,892 national median for Business Administration. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

A 9.9x earnings multiple over ten years puts this program in solid financial territory. Tuition is well-justified by projected earnings.

The 12% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Business Administration career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

With first-year pay of $46,439 far exceeding the $19,500 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

A #349 ranking among 1,169 Business Administration programs places Rowan University in the middle-to-upper range. Solid, not exceptional.

The $46,439-to-$71,348 earnings arc over five years reflects a 54% gain — well above average career growth for recent graduates.
