Program Analysis

Graduates earn $61,303/yr, roughly in line with the $62,729 national median for Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

With a 13.2x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 18% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

With first-year pay of $61,303 far exceeding the $17,048 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

A #37 ranking among 118 Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods programs places The University of Texas at Dallas in the middle-to-upper range. Solid, not exceptional.

A 38% earnings increase from $61,303 to $84,874 over five years is solid — not a moonshot, but evidence of normal career advancement.
