Analysis
A mathematics degree typically produces a manageable debt-to-earnings picture, and the estimates here suggest Findlay follows that pattern. Based on comparable mathematics programs in Ohio, graduates can expect around $49,000 in first-year earnings against roughly $22,600 in debt—a 0.46 ratio that's quite reasonable for a bachelor's degree. That's essentially in line with what Ohio mathematics programs typically deliver, and slightly above the national median for the field.
The challenge is that we're working entirely with estimates here because Findlay's mathematics cohort is too small for the Department of Education to report actual outcomes. The earnings figure comes from eight other Ohio programs, while the debt estimate draws from just three similar schools. This means we can't know whether Findlay's program specifically prepares students better or worse than state peers. For context, top Ohio programs like Kent State produce first-year earnings around $54,000—about $5,000 more than these estimates suggest for Findlay.
Mathematics degrees generally offer solid career flexibility, and the estimated numbers here don't raise red flags. But with no actual graduate data available, you're making a decision without knowing how Findlay's specific curriculum, faculty connections, and career services translate into real outcomes. If you can find programs with reported data—especially nearby options—those would give you more concrete information to work with.

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 The University of Findlay, approximately 14% 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 OH. Actual outcomes may vary.
