Program Analysis
At $89,651/yr, Mathematics and Computer Science graduates from University of California-San Diego land near the $92,848 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 13.9x 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 — 67% task exposure — and the 24% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $18,887 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
With only 9 programs offering Mathematics and Computer Science nationally, this is a niche field. University of California-San Diego ranks #3 among them.
