Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $37,768 track close to the $39,933 national median for Geological and Earth Sciences/Geosciences programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 16.1x 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 — 47% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
Ranked #46 out of 103 programs, SUNY Brockport's Geological and Earth Sciences/Geosciences offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $37,768 to $55,263 shows 46% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
