Program Analysis
Graduates earn $27,396/yr, roughly in line with the $30,427 national median for English. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
Every dollar of in-state tuition returns an estimated 19.2x in decade earnings — an exceptional ratio that places this among the highest-ROI English programs nationally.
Some AI exposure exists in English's typical career paths, with 61% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 6% gap from the optimistic case.
Median debt of $16,416 represents roughly 7 months of the $27,396 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.
At #138 of 493 English programs, University of North Florida scores above the median — competitive but not a standout.
Five-year earnings of $43,520 show a 59% jump from the $27,396 starting point — strong upward trajectory suggesting real career acceleration.
