Program Analysis

Graduates earn $51,950/yr, roughly in line with the $50,797 national median for Mathematics. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 3.4x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 65% task exposure — and the 18% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$51,950 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #182 out of 253 programs, Whitworth University's financial outcomes for Mathematics trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $51,950 to $74,637 shows 44% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Whitworth University's Mathematics program score?
A score of 52/100 reflects decent absolute metrics, but Whitworth University trails the majority of Mathematics programs on relative rankings. Context matters more than the raw number.
How vulnerable is Mathematics to AI automation?
AI won't 'replace' Mathematics careers outright, but it is likely to reduce the number of job openings. We model 65% task exposure, which compresses field employment probability in our scenarios.
Scores use College Scorecard earnings, BLS employment projections, and AI task-exposure research. See full methodology →
