Program Analysis

Graduates earn $45,858/yr, roughly in line with the $50,797 national median for Mathematics. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 10.8x 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 — 65% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $45,858 far exceeding the $22,743 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

At #156 out of 253 programs, Eastern Connecticut State University's financial outcomes for Mathematics trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $45,858 to $58,780 shows 28% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Eastern Connecticut State University's Mathematics program score?
A score of 55/100 reflects decent absolute metrics, but Eastern Connecticut State University trails the majority of Mathematics programs on relative rankings. Context matters more than the raw number.
How vulnerable is Mathematics to AI automation?
AI won't 'replace' Mathematics careers outright, but it is likely to reduce the number of job openings. We model 65% task exposure, which compresses field employment probability in our scenarios.
Scores use College Scorecard earnings, BLS employment projections, and AI task-exposure research. See full methodology →
