Compared to the national mean of $60,399 across all institutions offering Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences, graduates here earn above the national average for this program. Across all programs at North Carolina State University at Raleigh, the mean median-earnings figure is $78,562, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. The median cumulative federal loan debt for Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences graduates at North Carolina State University at Raleigh is $35,206, which translates to roughly $293 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan.

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.
