Program Analysis

Graduates earn $73,420/yr, edging above the $62,729 national average for Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 11.2x 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 — 55% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $25,740 in median debt against $73,420 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #57 out of 118 programs, University of Delaware's Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
