Program Analysis
At $33,170 per year, Health and Physical Education/Fitness graduates from Tennessee Technological University earn slightly above the $31,057 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.
The 12.0x 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 — 25% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $14,500 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #225 out of 529 programs, Tennessee Technological University's Health and Physical Education/Fitness offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $33,170 to $44,792 shows 35% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
