Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $68,433 track close to the $74,381 national median for Engineering Science programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
At 3.8x tuition cost in decade earnings, the ROI is moderate. This program pays for itself, but it's not a financial slam-dunk.
The 17% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Engineering Science career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.
At $27,000 in median debt against $68,433 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Engineering Science is offered at just 7 schools in our analysis. Hofstra University's #5 ranking should be read in that context.
A 40% earnings increase from $68,433 to $95,740 over five years is solid — not a moonshot, but evidence of normal career advancement.
