Program Analysis
Graduates earn $31,779/yr, roughly in line with the $32,219 national median for Biology. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 13.2x 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 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,875 debt-to-$31,779 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #491 out of 822 programs, Texas Southern University's financial outcomes for Biology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $31,779 to $44,374 shows 40% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
