Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $46,016 track close to the $50,797 national median for Mathematics programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 15.0x 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 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $17,843 in median debt against $46,016 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #76 out of 253 programs, University at Buffalo's Mathematics offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $46,016 to $67,072 shows 46% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
