Program Analysis
At $31,294/yr, Animal Sciences graduates from University of Florida land near the $33,901 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 20.8x 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 — 42% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $15,000 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #22 out of 81 programs, University of Florida's Animal Sciences offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $31,294 to $51,450 over five years (64% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
