Program Analysis

At $25,266 per year, Neurobiology and Neurosciences graduates from Binghamton University earn below the $32,455 national average. Lower costs or geographic factors may offset the earnings gap.

The 19.5x 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 — 48% task exposure — and the 17% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $19,500 debt-to-$25,266 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #11 out of 97 programs, Binghamton University's Neurobiology and Neurosciences program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.

Earnings growth from $25,266 to $75,089 over five years (197% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
