Program Analysis

At $42,110 per year, English graduates from Utah Tech University significantly outpace the $30,427 national average for this major, reflecting strong employer demand for this program's graduates.

The 20.1x 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 — 61% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $12,197 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

A #6 ranking out of 493 programs puts Utah Tech University in the top 1% for English. By our composite measure, very few programs deliver stronger results.
