First-year earnings of $28,243 track close to the $31,042 national median for Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

An earnings multiple of 2.7x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.

AI risk is moderate — 45% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $18,300 debt-to-$28,243 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #60 out of 62 programs, University of Miami's financial outcomes for Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth from $28,243 to $61,371 over five years (117% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
