Compared to the national mean of $170,004 across all institutions offering Dentistry, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, the mean median-earnings figure is $100,008, 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 Dentistry graduates at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is $192,648, which translates to roughly $1,605 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan.
