Program Analysis

Stevenson University's Biochemistry & Biophysics and Molecular Biology graduates start at $46,637/yr — above the $37,918 national average, though not by a wide margin.

The 3.2x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 45% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$46,637 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #81 out of 136 programs, Stevenson University's financial outcomes for Biochemistry & Biophysics and Molecular Biology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
