Program Analysis

Graduates earn $49,507/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 20.6x 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 9% gap from the optimistic case.

At #123 of 253 Mathematics programs, Florida International University scores above the median — competitive but not a standout.
