Program Analysis
At $52,759/yr, Finance and Financial Management Services graduates from University of Northern Iowa land near the $55,340 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 16.9x 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 — 55% task exposure — and the 14% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $18,770 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #118 out of 431 programs, University of Northern Iowa's Finance and Financial Management Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $52,759 to $71,845 shows 36% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
