Program Analysis

At $43,096/yr, International Business graduates from University of Nevada-Reno land near the $50,501 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The 15.8x 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 — 51% task exposure — and the 11% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $13,744 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

Ranked #40 out of 103 programs, University of Nevada-Reno's International Business offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $43,096 to $61,572 shows 43% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
