Program Analysis

Graduates earn $46,041/yr, roughly in line with the $50,797 national median for Mathematics. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

Every dollar of in-state tuition returns an estimated 14.6x in decade earnings — an exceptional ratio that places this among the highest-ROI Mathematics programs nationally.

Some AI exposure exists in Mathematics's typical career paths, with 65% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 7% gap from the optimistic case.

With first-year pay of $46,041 far exceeding the $23,000 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

Ranked #173 of 253 Mathematics programs, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
