Program Analysis
Graduates earn $30,865/yr, roughly in line with the $32,219 national median for Biology. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 15.2x 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 — 40% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $18,750 debt-to-$30,865 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #373 out of 822 programs, Southeastern Louisiana University's Biology offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $30,865 to $47,728 over five years (55% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
