Is Music at Chowan University Worth It?

Verdict: AVOID. The numbers do not work for Music at Chowan University. With $37,666 in debt and only $42,000 in first-year earnings, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.90x puts graduates in a difficult financial position. Even by year five ($56,700), the earning power does not justify the cost. Look at this major at a less expensive school, or consider a major with stronger earnings potential.
