Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $33,788 at University of Baltimore come in 8% above the national median of $31,253 for Radio, Television, and Digital Communication programs.

The 11.5x 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 — 48% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $19,750 debt-to-$33,788 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #53 out of 140 programs, University of Baltimore's Radio, Television, and Digital Communication offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
