Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $44,096 track close to the $50,501 national median for International Business programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 20.7x 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 9% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $17,343 in median debt against $44,096 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #33 out of 103 programs, University of South Florida's International Business offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $44,096 to $55,651 shows 26% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
