International Business at Saint Edward's University

Saint Edward's delivers above-average outcomes for International Business majors, though the small graduating class means these numbers could shift year to year. At $62,711 four years out, graduates earn nearly 50% more than the typical Texas program's median of $42K, placing them in the 60th percentile statewide. They're even outpacing graduates from UT Arlington and Baylor—larger programs with stronger name recognition. The 21% earnings growth from year one to year four suggests graduates are gaining traction in the market rather than stalling early.

The debt picture looks manageable at $24,218, translating to a 0.47 ratio against first-year earnings. That's below the threshold where loan payments typically become burdensome. Texas programs generally carry lower debt loads (state median is $18K), so Saint Edward's comes in slightly higher, but the earnings premium more than compensates. This isn't a bargain-basement degree, but graduates appear to be getting solid ROI.

The catch is the sample size—fewer than 30 recent graduates means one unusual cohort could dramatically alter these figures. If your student is drawn to this program, they're looking at numbers that suggest reasonable value, especially compared to state alternatives. Just recognize you're making this decision with limited data points, so the actual experience could vary more than at larger programs with hundreds of annual graduates.
