Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $85,672 put Troy University's Science, Technology and Society program 74% above the national median of $49,207 — one of the higher-earning programs in this field.
The 19.1x 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 9% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
With first-year pay of $85,672 far exceeding the $15,312 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.
Ranked #3 out of 11 programs, Troy University's Science, Technology and Society offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
