Program Analysis

At $44,467/yr, Business graduates from Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi land near the $48,211 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The 12.8x 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 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
