Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $35,779 track close to the $37,918 national median for Biochemistry & Biophysics and Molecular Biology programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 24.1x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.

AI risk is moderate — 45% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

Ranked #65 out of 136 programs, Brigham Young University-Idaho's Biochemistry & Biophysics and Molecular Biology offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
