Mathematics at University of North Alabama

Mathematics programs in Alabama show substantial variation in outcomes, and while University of North Alabama lacks program-specific data, peer programs suggest starting earnings around $45,500 with roughly $20,000 in debt. This puts the estimated debt-to-earnings ratio at a manageable 0.44—well under the concerning 1.0 threshold. However, these projections fall about $3,300 below the national mathematics median of $48,800, reflecting regional salary differences rather than necessarily program quality.

What's worth noting is the range among Alabama's math programs with actual reported data. Athens State graduates start at $57,600—nearly $13,000 above UNA's peer-program estimate—while Troy University comes in at just $31,300. University of North Alabama sits in the middle of this spectrum according to comparable programs, but without school-specific outcomes data, you're making assumptions about where it truly lands among state competitors.

The estimated debt load appears reasonable for a mathematics degree, especially at an institution with a 96% admission rate serving a student body where 24% receive Pell grants. But the lack of reported outcomes means you can't verify whether UNA's graduates actually match these peer-program projections or fall closer to either end of Alabama's wide performance range. If your student has offers from programs with actual data—particularly Athens State or UAB—those provide clearer financial pictures for comparison.
