International Business at Ohio University-Eastern Campus
Bachelor's Degree
Analysis
Ohio University-Eastern's International Business program shows strong first-year earnings at $57,396—outperforming three-quarters of similar programs nationally and matching the state median. That's $7,500 above the typical international business graduate, a meaningful advantage for students entering the global marketplace. The debt load of $27,000 stays manageable with a 0.47 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning graduates could theoretically pay off their loans in under six months of gross earnings.
However, the small sample size here—fewer than 30 graduates—means these numbers could shift significantly year to year. What looks like strong performance might reflect a particularly successful cohort rather than a consistent outcome. It's also worth noting this is a regional campus of Ohio University, where all Ohio campuses report identical earnings data, suggesting these figures may be aggregated across locations rather than specific to the Eastern campus experience.
For families prioritizing immediate earning potential with reasonable debt, this program delivers competitive results that match Ohio's flagship programs. Just understand you're looking at limited data that may not tell the full story about what future graduates can expect.
