Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $43,315 track close to the $50,797 national median for Mathematics programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 18.0x 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 — 65% task exposure — and the 14% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $17,837 in median debt against $43,315 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #101 out of 253 programs, Georgia State University's Mathematics offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $43,315 to $62,151 shows 43% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Georgia State University's Mathematics program score?
This program scores 60/100, reflecting respectable but not exceptional financial outcomes for Mathematics graduates.
How vulnerable is Mathematics to AI automation?
AI won't 'replace' Mathematics careers outright, but it is likely to reduce the number of job openings. We model 65% task exposure, which compresses field employment probability in our scenarios.
Scores use College Scorecard earnings, BLS employment projections, and AI task-exposure research. See full methodology →
