The short answer
Texas A&M International University mathematics graduates earn about what mathematics graduates earn nationally, $46,055 in their first year. Where this program stands out is debt. The typical graduate leaves with $8,000 in federal loans, less than at 99% of mathematics programs in the country. Strong value, but not one of the highest-paying mathematics degrees in Texas.
How it compares
Each figure is the median for graduates of the program. The Texas and national columns are the medians across all mathematics bachelor's programs that report the figure.
Five years out, Texas A&M International University graduates earn less than the national figure and about $2,160 less than the Texas median. Several Texas programs with higher debt show higher pay by the five-year mark.
Debt and first-year pay at every Texas mathematics program
Programs in the upper left give graduates higher pay for less debt. Dashed lines mark the Texas medians.
Hover over or tap a dot to see the school. Only programs that report both earnings and debt are shown.
What graduates earn over time
Pay rises about 26% between the first and fifth year.
Year 1 and year 5 figures come from different graduating classes, so the growth rate is an estimate.
Paying back the loans
On a standard 10-year plan, the median debt means a payment of about $85 a month, or 2.2% of a graduate's typical monthly pay in the first year.
Where graduates work, and what the pay is worth
110% of graduates (32 of 29) were working in Texas one year after graduating. Prices in the Laredo area are about 13% below the national average, so a $46,055 salary here buys what about $52,964 buys in a typical US city.

About this data
- Earnings and debt only include students who received federal financial aid (grants or loans).
- Earnings only count graduates who were working and not enrolled in more school. Graduates who went straight to further study are not included.
- Debt only includes federal loans. Private loans and credit cards are not counted.
- Some schools with several campuses report one combined figure for all of them. We count each of those schools once, and leave them out of Texas comparisons when their main campus is in another state.
- Scorecard figures describe graduating classes from several years ago. BLS wages are from May 2025.
- School-level numbers like tuition, admission rate, and graduation rate are for the whole school, not the mathematics program.
