Statistics at University of Miami

Statistics graduates from Florida programs typically start around $53,000—placing this field solidly in the middle tier among quantitative majors. University of Miami's estimated outcomes align with this state median, though they trail the actual reported figures from University of Florida ($59,619) and UCF ($58,920) by roughly $6,000. That gap matters when you're paying for Miami's selective private education.

The estimated $16,875 debt load is actually below both state and national medians for statistics programs, yielding a manageable 0.32 debt-to-earnings ratio. This suggests Miami either provides strong financial aid or attracts students with substantial family resources (consistent with only 15% receiving Pell grants). Based on comparable programs nationally, statistics bachelor's holders see median earnings near $60,000—about $7,000 above what Florida programs typically produce. This state-level discount is worth noting, particularly at a premium institution.

Here's the practical question: Are you paying Miami's tuition premium for outcomes that peer programs in the state system deliver at lower cost? The debt estimate looks reasonable, but without actual graduate outcome data for Miami specifically, you're making an investment decision based on what similar programs produce rather than a proven track record. If your child is choosing Miami for its broader opportunities or specific faculty, that's one calculation. If it's purely for statistics career outcomes, the public flagships show stronger first-year numbers and cost considerably less.
