Program Analysis

Graduates of Utah State University's Public Health program earn $76,451/yr in their first year — 96% above the $38,916 national median, a strong market signal for this institution.

With a 17.4x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 12% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Public Health career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

Among 213 Public Health programs nationally, Utah State University ranks #2 — elite territory by any measure of graduate financial outcomes.

The limited growth from $76,451 to $77,541 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
