Mathematics at Campbellsville University

A mathematics bachelor's degree from Campbellsville comes with an estimated first-year salary of $48,772—a figure drawn from national medians that puts the program in line with typical outcomes nationally, but well above what most Kentucky mathematics graduates earn. The $22,000 in estimated debt translates to a manageable 0.45 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning graduates would be borrowing less than half their first-year income. For context, Kentucky's math programs show wide variability: the University of Kentucky reports actual outcomes around $39,000, while Morehead State's graduates start closer to $24,000.

The challenge here is uncertainty. Because Campbellsville's mathematics cohort is too small for the Department of Education to report actual outcomes, we're relying on national patterns to estimate both earnings and debt. A small program at a school with a 98% admission rate may not mirror national norms—particularly in a state where the median math graduate earns $31,734, about 35% less than the national figure. If Campbellsville's outcomes track closer to Kentucky averages than national ones, the financial picture shifts considerably.

For families willing to accept this uncertainty, the estimated debt level isn't alarming. But you're essentially making a decision without program-specific evidence. If your child needs concrete data about job placement or typical starting salaries for Campbellsville math graduates specifically, request that information directly from the program before committing.
