University of Massachusetts Global's Social Work graduates start at $41,327/yr — above the $36,554 national average, though not by a wide margin.
At 9.5x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 24% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
