Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies at George Fox University

George Fox's interdisciplinary studies program produces first-year earnings of just $26,749—about $5,000 below Oregon's state median and roughly $12,000 below the national average. With nearly $26,500 in typical debt, graduates face a 1:1 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning they owe essentially what they earn in their first year. For context, Southern Oregon University's similar program shows graduates earning $41,454, demonstrating that better outcomes are achievable at other Oregon public institutions.

The small sample size (under 30 graduates) means these figures could shift with more data, but the pattern is concerning enough to warrant serious consideration. At 96% admission and with relatively modest academic selectivity, this isn't a highly competitive program where low initial earnings might reflect graduate school pathways or selective career choices.

The bottom line: Unless your child has compelling personal reasons to choose George Fox specifically, this program appears to underperform both state and national peers by a significant margin. The combination of below-average earnings and average debt creates a challenging financial starting point that other Oregon schools seem better positioned to avoid.
