Pay after cost of living divides first-year pay by the Bureau of Economic Analysis price level of the school's state, where the US average is 100. It is shown for 579 programs where at least half of the graduates who work are working in the school's state. The other 212, whose graduates mostly work in other states or whose state has no price level, are listed last when you sort by it.

10 programs report pay but not debt, so they are ranked only by pay.

College Scorecard withholds pay for programs with too few graduates, to protect their privacy, so those programs can't be ranked. 4 more programs report pay but aren't listed, because College Scorecard's school file doesn't name their schools. The national medians above still count them.

Biology (Bachelor's) programs by state

Each row is the median across the state's biology bachelor's programs. State names link to the full ranking of that state's programs.

Programs in 12 more states and territories report pay, but too few to rank. A state ranking needs at least five programs that report both pay and debt.

About this data

Earnings and debt only include students who received federal financial aid, and earnings only count graduates who were working and not enrolled in more school.
Debt only includes federal loans. Private loans and credit cards are not counted.
Medians are across programs, not students: each program counts once, however many graduates it has.
National medians include every program in the 50 states, DC, and US territories, including schools that have since closed. Schools with several campuses that report one combined figure are counted once.
Programs are ranked by College Scorecard median pay one year after graduation. Pay after cost of living uses the price level of the school's state.
Scorecard figures describe graduating classes from several years ago. BLS wages are from May 2025. Price levels are the Bureau of Economic Analysis Regional Price Parities for 2024.
