Program Analysis

University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's History program produces graduates earning $32,930/yr — within striking distance of the $32,281 national average for this field.

With a 13.4x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 3% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some History career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $26,500 against $32,930/yr in earnings, the debt burden is moderate. Most graduates should manage repayment without extended financial strain.

A #235 ranking among 389 History programs places University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.

The limited growth from $32,930 to $38,013 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
