Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $31,567 track close to the $32,219 national median for Biology programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
Every dollar of in-state tuition returns an estimated 13.7x in decade earnings — an exceptional ratio that places this among the highest-ROI Biology programs nationally.
Some AI exposure exists in Biology's typical career paths, with 40% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 3% gap from the optimistic case.
Median debt of $20,520 represents roughly 8 months of the $31,567 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.
Ranked #514 of 822 Biology programs, Texas A&M University-Texarkana falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
