Program Analysis
At $59,309/yr, Environmental Health Engineering graduates from University of California-Riverside land near the $63,650 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 13.2x 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 — 50% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $18,068 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #12 out of 47 programs, University of California-Riverside's Environmental Health Engineering offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $59,309 to $81,979 shows 38% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
