Program Analysis

Graduates earn $52,308/yr, roughly in line with the $50,797 national median for Mathematics. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

With a 13.5x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 24% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Mathematics career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $27,000 against $52,308/yr in earnings, the debt burden is moderate. Most graduates should manage repayment without extended financial strain.

University of Delaware ranks #33 among 253 Mathematics programs, placing it in the top 5% nationally by our financial outcomes measure.

The $52,308-to-$92,170 earnings arc over five years reflects a 76% gain — well above average career growth for recent graduates.
