About This Data
DegreeWorth analyzes 24 bachelor's degree programs at Eastern Illinois University using earnings data from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, employment projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2024–2034), and AI automation risk research from OpenAI and academic institutions.
The DegreeWorth Score (0–100) combines four equally weighted factors: graduate earnings, AI resilience, job market size, and return on investment. Each program page includes three AI scenarios (optimistic, base case, pessimistic) showing how automation could affect 10-year earnings.
