Program Analysis

At $54,953 per year, Mathematics graduates from Rutgers University-Camden earn slightly above the $50,797 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

The 13.3x 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 25% 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.

A #19 ranking out of 253 Mathematics programs nationally puts Rutgers University-Camden in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.

Earnings growth from $54,953 to $97,521 over five years (77% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Rutgers University-Camden's Mathematics program score?
This program scores 69/100, reflecting respectable but not exceptional financial outcomes for Mathematics graduates.
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 →
