Program Analysis

Graduates earn $34,032/yr, roughly in line with the $37,292 national median for Human Services, General. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

With a 21.5x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 2% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Human Services, General career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.
