Program Analysis
At $35,305/yr, Biochemistry graduates from Dickinson College land near the $37,918 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
An earnings multiple of 1.8x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.
AI risk is moderate — 45% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $19,000 debt-to-$35,305 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #122 out of 136 programs, Dickinson College's financial outcomes for Biochemistry trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
