Program Analysis
Graduates earn $45,476/yr, roughly in line with the $50,797 national median for Mathematics. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 12.4x 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 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,954 debt-to-$45,476 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #142 out of 253 programs, Texas Tech University's financial outcomes for Mathematics trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $45,476 to $60,209 shows 32% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
