Program Analysis

Graduates earn $47,454/yr, roughly in line with the $46,892 national median for Business Administration. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 15.0x 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 — 47% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $47,454 far exceeding the $20,500 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

Ranked #332 out of 1,169 programs, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's Business Administration offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth is modest: $47,454 to $56,196 over five years (18% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
