Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $66,445 track close to the $65,727 national median for Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 10.2x 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 — 24% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $25,000 in median debt against $66,445 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #34 out of 99 programs, University of Rhode Island's Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $66,445 to $80,596 shows 21% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
