Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $108,255 put Dartmouth College's Mathematics program 113% above the national median of $50,797 — one of the higher-earning programs in this field.

An earnings multiple of 3.7x means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition, but not by a dramatic margin. Returns are positive but modest.

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 26% gap from the optimistic case.

With first-year pay of $108,255 far exceeding the $11,617 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

Ranked #149 of 253 Mathematics programs, Dartmouth College falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
