Program Analysis

Graduates earn $47,822/yr, roughly in line with the $50,797 national median for Mathematics. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

With a 21.2x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 24% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Mathematics career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

With first-year pay of $47,822 far exceeding the $19,250 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

At #24 of 253 programs, this Mathematics program outperforms the majority of its peers. The top 10% ranking reflects consistently above-average outcomes.

The $47,822-to-$90,593 earnings arc over five years reflects a 89% gain — well above average career growth for recent graduates.
