Program Analysis

Graduates earn $29,515/yr, roughly in line with the $32,219 national median for Biology. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 3.6x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 40% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $26,250 debt-to-$29,515 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #759 out of 822 programs, Felician University's financial outcomes for Biology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth from $29,515 to $52,125 over five years (77% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
