Program Analysis

At $97,700 per year, Applied Mathematics graduates from Stevens Institute of Technology significantly outpace the $62,640 national average for this major, reflecting strong employer demand for this program's graduates.

An earnings multiple of 3.7x means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition, but not by a dramatic margin. Returns are positive but modest.

Some AI exposure exists in Applied Mathematics's typical career paths, with 61% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 23% gap from the optimistic case.

The median debt load of $25,841 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

Ranked #30 of 44 Applied Mathematics programs, Stevens Institute of Technology falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
