Program Analysis

Graduates earn $29,617/yr, roughly in line with the $34,637 national median for Romance Languages & Literatures. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

At 9.1x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 58% task exposure — and the 9% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At #139 out of 198 programs, University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg's financial outcomes for Romance Languages & Literatures trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth from $29,617 to $51,242 over five years (73% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
