Analysis
In Georgia's competitive landscape for mathematics degrees, comparable programs suggest graduates start around $44,000—a figure that trails the national median by roughly $4,000. With estimated debt near $22,000, Reinhardt's mathematics program appears to align with typical borrowing levels across similar institutions, producing a debt-to-earnings ratio that falls within reasonable bounds at 0.49. However, these estimates are drawn from peer programs across Georgia and nationally since this specific cohort was too small for the Department of Education to report.
The practical challenge becomes clearer when you look at Georgia's flagship programs. UGA mathematics graduates report first-year earnings above $47,000, while Georgia Southern's sit at $35,500—a $12,000 spread that suggests program reputation and location matter significantly in this field. Where Reinhardt sits within that range remains uncertain given the estimated data, though the projected earnings track closer to the state median than to top performers.
For parents weighing this investment, the estimated debt load won't bury a graduate, but mathematics degrees typically command stronger starting salaries at larger universities with established employer pipelines. If your student has admission options at programs with reported outcomes—particularly Georgia's public flagships—those offer more certainty about post-graduation prospects. If Reinhardt's smaller environment or specific strengths justify the choice, budget for the possibility that early earnings could trend toward the lower end of Georgia's range.

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 Reinhardt University, approximately 39% 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 4 similar programs in GA. Actual outcomes may vary.
