Program Analysis

Miami University-Hamilton's Security Science and Technology graduates start at $43,918/yr — above the $40,284 national average, though not by a wide margin.

The 17.0x 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 — 46% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

Ranked #13 out of 41 programs, Miami University-Hamilton's Security Science and Technology offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
