Business Administration, Management and Operations at Touro University Worldwide

Touro University Worldwide's online business program produces unusually high early earnings—$57,621 beats 91% of similar programs nationally—but these results come from fewer than 30 graduates, making them harder to rely on for forecasting your child's outcome. The $35,309 debt load sits well above both the national median ($26,000) and California's ($21,000), though the 0.61 debt-to-earnings ratio remains manageable if those salary figures hold.

The state context reveals an interesting tension: while these graduates earn more than 60% of California business programs, they're nowhere near the elite tier (UC Berkeley grads earn $90,000+). That gap matters for an online program charging comparable tuition. The high debt relative to other California schools—coupled with 52% of students receiving Pell grants—suggests many families here are stretching financially for outcomes that, while solid, aren't transformative.

The small sample size is the critical caveat. With under 30 graduates reporting, a few outlier salaries could inflate these numbers significantly. If your child enrolls, they're betting that their experience will mirror this limited group's success. For families comfortable with online learning and needing flexibility, the program appears functional, but the debt premium over cheaper in-state options deserves scrutiny given the uncertainty in the data.
