Program Analysis

What this degree looks like at Stockton University

Stockton University's Biochemistry graduates start at $40,855/yr — above the $37,918 national average, though not by a wide margin.

At 7.7x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 45% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $22,940 debt-to-$40,855 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #87 out of 136 programs, Stockton University's financial outcomes for Biochemistry trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
