Program Analysis
Graduates earn $29,422/yr, roughly in line with the $30,427 national median for English. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 14.4x 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 — 61% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $21,500 debt-to-$29,422 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #126 out of 493 programs, SUNY College at Geneseo's English offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $29,422 to $48,367 over five years (64% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
