Program Analysis

Starting salaries of $36,304/yr fall 20% below the $45,450 national median for Marketing. The financial case depends heavily on whether tuition compensates.

The 16.3x 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 — 54% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $15,580 in median debt against $36,304 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #215 out of 502 programs, University of Nevada-Las Vegas's Marketing offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth from $36,304 to $62,672 over five years (73% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
