Mathematics at Wilmington College

A mathematics degree in Ohio tends to start graduates around $49,000, and Wilmington's estimated numbers fall right in line with that state pattern—though it's worth remembering these figures come from similar programs across Ohio, not Wilmington's specific track record. The estimated debt load of $22,625 sits slightly above the state median but translates to a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.46, meaning roughly half a year's salary to repay.

What makes this harder to evaluate is the competitive landscape. Top-performing math programs in Ohio—Kent State, Ohio State, Miami—report first-year earnings in the $49,000 to $54,000 range from their own graduates. Wilmington's admission profile (85% acceptance rate, 1042 average SAT) suggests a different student population than these flagship institutions, which could influence outcomes in ways the state averages don't capture. The school serves a substantial share of Pell grant recipients, which speaks to accessibility but doesn't tell us whether their specific mathematics graduates land the tutoring positions, actuarial internships, or data analyst roles that drive stronger earnings.

The math here isn't alarming—debt appears controllable relative to expected earnings. But without knowing how Wilmington's own graduates actually fare, you're betting that this program performs at least as well as the Ohio average rather than having concrete evidence it does.
