Business/Commerce at University of Baltimore

University of Baltimore's business program produces graduates earning 26% more than the national median for business degrees ($52,329 versus $47,506), with solid progression to nearly $64,000 by year four. In Maryland's competitive market—where schools like Strayer University lead at $55,431—Baltimore ranks in the 60th percentile, placing it above the state median but not at the top. Still, the $63,811 four-year mark represents meaningful earning power in the Baltimore metro area, where business roles span finance, logistics, and healthcare administration.

The $25,000 debt load is actually below both national and state medians ($26,000), creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.48 that qualifies as manageable by most standards. Graduates can realistically pay this down within a few years while building their careers. The 22% earnings growth over four years suggests graduates aren't plateauing early—they're advancing into better-paid positions as they gain experience.

For a school with 86% admission and 43% Pell Grant recipients, these outcomes are noteworthy. Baltimore delivers above-average results to a student body that includes many first-generation and middle-income families. If your child can access Maryland's in-state tuition rates, this becomes a particularly strong value play: better-than-average earnings with below-average debt, all from a program with solid regional employer connections in a diverse business hub.
