Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $50,946 track close to the $51,599 national median for Human Resources Management and Services programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
At 9.3x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 48% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $16,942 in median debt against $50,946 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #54 out of 169 programs, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities's Human Resources Management and Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $50,946 to $71,653 shows 41% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
