Program Analysis

University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research program produces graduates earning $59,690/yr — within striking distance of the $65,727 national average for this field.

The 16.5x 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 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

Loan repayment is a non-issue here — $27,500 in median debt clears quickly against $59,690 in annual earnings.

Ranked #36 out of 99 programs, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth is modest: $59,690 to $65,426 over five years (10% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
