What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology at Montclair State University

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Montclair State University and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology at the master's credential level. The FOS file is keyed by CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code, which means earnings and debt figures here reflect only graduates of this specific program — not the school as a whole. IPEDS reports 9 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Montclair State University, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $41,200 represent Treasury-verified wages approximately one year after program completion, drawn from Social Security Administration records linked to federal financial aid applicants. Compared to the national mean of $50,000 across all institutions offering Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at Montclair State University, the mean median-earnings figure is $61,491, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. Median federal debt is not separately reported for this program at this school.. Program-level debt and earnings come from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard FOS release, updated annually.

About the Data

Data from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard Field of Study file. Earnings are median earnings for graduates after completion, drawn from U.S. Treasury tax records linked to federal financial aid applicants. Institutional characteristics come from IPEDS. Debt figures represent the median cumulative federal loan debt at graduation.

Debt-to-earnings ratio compares cumulative debt to annual earnings. A ratio below 1.0 indicates that annual earnings exceed total debt, generally considered favorable. Estimated monthly payments assume a standard 10-year repayment plan.
