Program Analysis

Graduates earn $28,881/yr, roughly in line with the $32,455 national median for Neurobiology and Neurosciences. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

An earnings multiple of 2.3x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.

AI risk is moderate — 48% task exposure — and the 0% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $25,000 debt-to-$28,881 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #86 out of 97 programs, Drew University's financial outcomes for Neurobiology and Neurosciences trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
