Program Analysis
At $77,542 per year, Chemical Engineering graduates from Miami University-Oxford earn slightly above the $72,288 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.
The 12.4x 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 18% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $20,500 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #79 out of 158 programs, Miami University-Oxford's Chemical Engineering offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $77,542 to $97,829 shows 26% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
