Analysis

Miami University-Oxford's statistics graduates start at $61,702—about $7,000 above Ohio's median for the program and slightly ahead of the national benchmark. Among Ohio's eight statistics programs, this ranks in the 60th percentile, solidly above the state median of $54,696. The debt load of $23,875 sits at just the 9th percentile nationally, meaning 91% of statistics programs saddle graduates with more debt. That translates to a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.39, well within comfortable territory.

The main caveat here is sample size—fewer than 30 graduates reported data, so these numbers could shift significantly year to year. That said, the combination of below-average debt and above-average earnings creates a favorable financial picture. At an 82% admission rate, Miami offers reasonable accessibility alongside solid outcomes for Ohio residents paying in-state tuition.

For a quantitative degree that opens doors in data science, analytics, and research, this represents a relatively low-risk investment. The earnings advantage over other Ohio programs and the manageable debt make this worth serious consideration, though prospective students should verify current program outcomes given the limited sample.
