Business, Management, Marketing, at Arizona State University Digital Immersion

ASU's Digital Immersion business program delivers solid value through exceptionally low debt rather than standout earnings. With median debt of just $19,802—placing it in the 89th percentile nationally for low debt—graduates face minimal financial burden while earning typical salaries for business majors. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.39 is excellent, meaning students can realistically pay off their loans within a few years of graduation.

The earnings picture is more modest but reasonable. Starting salaries of $50,740 match the national median exactly, though they do rank in the 60th percentile among Arizona business programs. More importantly, earnings show healthy 20% growth to $60,747 by year four, reaching the 75th percentile nationally. This suggests the program provides a foundation for career advancement, even if it doesn't immediately catapult graduates into high-paying roles.

For parents concerned about college debt, this program offers a compelling proposition: your child can earn a business degree from a well-known university without taking on crushing debt. While the earnings aren't exceptional, the combination of low debt and solid growth trajectory makes this a financially sound choice. The robust sample size gives confidence these outcomes are reliable, not just lucky outliers.
