Program Analysis

Graduates earn $49,192/yr, edging above the $45,895 national average for Architecture — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 15.2x 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 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $29,169 debt-to-$49,192 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #33 out of 66 programs, SUNY College of Technology at Alfred's Architecture offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
