Program Analysis
At $32,295/yr, Political Science and Government graduates from SUNY Oneonta land near the $36,684 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 17.0x 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 — 50% task exposure — and the 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $21,825 debt-to-$32,295 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #157 out of 521 programs, SUNY Oneonta's Political Science and Government offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $32,295 to $61,132 over five years (89% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
