Use this school-and-field page as a fit screen, not a department ranking. It combines the 0.7% reported program-share signal, $20,111 school-wide net price, and $143,372 school-wide ten-year earnings before you compare peer schools. The enrollment proxy is about 31 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

College Scorecard reports school-wide earnings and price, not per-major outcomes for individual colleges. Program share is a concentration signal, not a promise of department quality. Use it as a proxy, then verify department-level outcomes with the school.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (0.7%), school-wide average net price ($20,111), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($143,372), and peer averages from 159 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes. This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 159 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of A+, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is 2.1x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($1,152 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($72,837 above). Together, those evidence points place Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the top 6% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Biomathematics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology accounts for 0.7% of reported programs at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is bigger than 83% of schools in this field set and 2.1x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 31 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Massachusetts Institute of Technology's average net price is $20,111 per year, about $80,444 over four years. That is $1,152 below the $21,263 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $143,372 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $72,837 above the $70,535 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with program share, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify ranks Massachusetts Institute of Technology #9 of 159 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
