Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $51,315 track close to the $50,797 national median for Mathematics programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

Every dollar of in-state tuition returns an estimated 21.8x in decade earnings — an exceptional ratio that places this among the highest-ROI Mathematics programs nationally.

Some AI exposure exists in Mathematics's typical career paths, with 65% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 10% gap from the optimistic case.

At $11,692 in median debt against $51,315 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

At #100 of 253 Mathematics programs, University of Central Florida scores above the median — competitive but not a standout.
