Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies at Rogers State University

Rogers State's interdisciplinary studies program shows unusually strong first-year outcomes—graduates earn $56,439, placing them in the 95th percentile nationally and well above Oklahoma's median of $44,818. That's $11,621 more than typical Oklahoma graduates in this field earn. The debt load of $31,827 sits near state averages but well below national norms, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.56—meaning graduates owe roughly half their first year's salary.

The significant caveat: these impressive numbers come from a very small sample (under 30 graduates), which makes them less reliable predictors of future outcomes. The 4% earnings decline between years one and four also raises questions about career trajectory, though even the four-year figure ($53,986) still outperforms most programs statewide. With 38% of students receiving Pell grants, the school serves a substantial number of economically disadvantaged students who could benefit from these above-average returns.

For families evaluating this program, the data suggests strong potential value—particularly for in-state students paying lower tuition—but the small sample size means you're working with less certainty than typical program data provides. The high initial earnings are encouraging, but verify that recent graduates are finding the kinds of opportunities this data suggests.
