Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $27,467 track close to the $32,219 national median for Biology, General programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
An earnings multiple of 2.6x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.
AI risk is moderate — 40% task exposure — and the 1% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,000 debt-to-$27,467 income ratio translates to about 12 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #776 out of 822 programs, Westminster College's financial outcomes for Biology, General trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
