Pick a major and see how its typical debt stacks up against the income it buys —
the monthly payment in months of rent, the years to pay it off, and where it ranks among all majors.
Pick a major above to see its debt reality.
How this is built. Debt-to-income is the typical graduate's federal loan debt divided by their first-year
earnings (College Scorecard). Monthly payment assumes a standard 10-year repayment; we anchor it to about $1700/mo U.S. rent
so the number means something. Payback is years of the degree's earnings premium needed to recoup net cost. These are field-level
medians describing the major — not a forecast of your individual loan. Every figure here is joined from official sources, not estimated.
