Program Analysis

Graduates earn $44,827/yr, roughly in line with the $48,211 national median for Business. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 3.4x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 46% task exposure — and the 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $26,020 debt-to-$44,827 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #197 out of 242 programs, Saint Norbert College's financial outcomes for Business trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth from $44,827 to $68,517 over five years (53% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Saint Norbert College's Business program score?
A score of 56/100 reflects decent absolute metrics, but Saint Norbert College trails the majority of Business programs on relative rankings. Context matters more than the raw number.
