Program Analysis

At $51,443/yr, Mathematics graduates from The University of Texas at Arlington land near the $50,797 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

With a 11.9x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 11% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Mathematics career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

The median debt load of $14,667 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

A #116 ranking among 253 Mathematics programs places The University of Texas at Arlington in the middle-to-upper range. Solid, not exceptional.

The limited growth from $51,443 to $58,273 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
