Analysis
Virginia's math programs show significant variation in outcomes, and while Regent's specific graduate data isn't available, comparable programs in the state suggest first-year earnings around $57,000—right at the state median and notably above the national benchmark of $49,000. For a bachelor's degree in mathematics, this positions graduates competitively with peers from larger public universities, though slightly below the state's top performers like UMW and UVA.
The estimated debt load of $22,000 aligns closely with both state and national norms for math degrees, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38. This suggests graduates from similar programs could realistically pay down their loans within a year or two of focused repayment—a reasonable financial position for a four-year degree. The relatively modest borrowing is particularly relevant at a school where nearly half of students qualify for Pell grants.
The uncertainty here matters: without program-specific data, you're relying on patterns from peer institutions rather than Regent's actual track record. If this mathematics program connects students to Virginia's strong tech corridor or defense contracting sectors—both major employers of math graduates—outcomes could match or exceed these estimates. But if career services or employer networks are less developed, results might lag. Request detailed placement information and ask specifically about where recent graduates landed jobs before committing.

About This Data
Source: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard (October 2025 release)
Population: Graduates who received federal financial aid (Title IV grants or loans). At Regent University, approximately 48% of students receive Pell grants. Students who did not receive federal aid are not included in these figures.
Earnings: Median earnings from IRS W-2 data for graduates who are employed and not enrolled in further education, measured 1 year after completion. Earnings are pre-tax and include wages, salaries, and self-employment income.
Debt: Median cumulative federal loan debt at graduation. Does not include private loans or Parent PLUS loans borrowed on behalf of students.
Estimated Earnings: Actual earnings data is not available for this program (typically due to privacy thresholds when fewer than 30 graduates reported earnings). The estimate shown is based on the median of 8 similar programs in VA. Actual outcomes may vary.
