Business Administration, Management and Operations at Post University

Post University's business management graduates earn $61,704 in their first year—landing them in the 95th percentile nationally for this degree. That's $16,000 more than the typical business grad nationwide and competitive with Connecticut's top programs, including UConn. For a school where nearly three-quarters of students receive Pell grants, these outcomes are striking.

The debt picture requires context. At $27,842, borrowing sits slightly above both state and national medians, yielding a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.45—manageable by any standard. More important: earnings growth is modest but steady at 4% over four years, and graduates start strong rather than peaking early. Within Connecticut, this program ranks in the 60th percentile, meaning there are higher-earning options in-state, but the difference is often negligible. Post graduates earn within $1,000 of Charter Oak State College, the state leader.

The real consideration here is value for working students. Post's business program delivers earnings that rival flagship state universities while serving a predominantly lower-income population. If your child needs a flexible program with proven career outcomes rather than prestige, the numbers justify the investment. The debt is reasonable, and the starting salary provides immediate financial stability.
