Program Analysis
Graduates earn $41,068/yr, edging above the $37,918 national average for Biochemistry & Biophysics and Molecular Biology — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
At 8.1x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 45% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,000 debt-to-$41,068 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #86 out of 136 programs, Montclair State University's financial outcomes for Biochemistry & Biophysics and Molecular Biology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
