Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology at University of Delaware

University of Delaware graduates in this program earn nearly $10,000 more than the national median for biochemistry majors—putting them in the 95th percentile nationally. That's an impressive premium, though the small sample size (under 30 graduates) means these numbers could shift significantly with more data. The debt load of $25,334 is slightly above the national median but translates to a manageable 0.53 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning graduates owe about half their first-year salary.

The 60th percentile state ranking is less meaningful here since Delaware only has one school offering this program—essentially, this *is* the state benchmark. What matters more is the national comparison, where this program clearly outperforms most peers. For a moderately selective public university (65% admission rate), these outcomes suggest strong curriculum and career placement.

The key caveat is that small sample size. These numbers represent a handful of graduates, so your child's experience could vary substantially depending on their specific career path within biochemistry (research, medical school prep, industry). If they're considering this program, the strong national showing is encouraging, but verify current placement data and talk to recent graduates to ensure the pattern holds beyond this cohort.
