Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $52,715 track close to the $60,193 national median for Engineering Physics programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
With a 13.3x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.
The 9% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Engineering Physics career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.
At $25,750 in median debt against $52,715 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Engineering Physics is offered at just 8 schools in our analysis. Stephen F Austin State University's #6 ranking should be read in that context.
