Mathematics at Indiana University-Kokomo

Based on comparable mathematics programs across Indiana, IU-Kokomo appears positioned near the middle of the state's range, with estimated first-year earnings around $58,764 and typical debt of $22,000. While elite programs like Rose-Hulman and Notre Dame push salaries well into the $65,000-$85,000 range, peer programs in Indiana suggest outcomes closer to the state median, which notably exceeds the national benchmark of $48,772.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.37 indicates manageable borrowing relative to likely income—graduates would owe roughly five months of their first-year salary. This compares favorably to many bachelor's programs, though the uncertainty here matters: actual outcomes for IU-Kokomo's mathematics graduates could vary significantly from these state-derived estimates. The small graduate cohort that triggered data suppression means we're extrapolating from other Indiana programs rather than seeing verified results from this specific campus.

For families evaluating this program, the key question is whether Kokomo's regional campus can deliver outcomes comparable to IU-Bloomington (which reports nearly identical earnings) or whether it falls closer to programs like Purdue's main campus at $49,387. The estimated figures suggest reasonable value, but without actual graduate outcomes, you're essentially betting that this smaller IU branch produces results in line with the state's median mathematics program—a plausible assumption, but one worth testing through conversations with the department about graduate placement and employer connections in the region.
