Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $45,204 track close to the $50,797 national median for Mathematics programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 12.2x 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 $19,166 in median debt against $45,204 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
At #143 out of 253 programs, Oregon State University-Cascades Campus's financial outcomes for Mathematics trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $45,204 to $63,194 shows 40% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
