Program Analysis
Graduates earn $24,025/yr, roughly in line with the $25,392 national median for Communication Disorders Sciences and Services. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 15.5x 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 — 46% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $19,872 debt-to-$24,025 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #38 out of 103 programs, Southern Connecticut State University's Communication Disorders Sciences and Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $24,025 to $67,435 over five years (181% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
