Computer Engineering at University of Connecticut-Avery Point

UConn Avery Point's Computer Engineering program delivers solid outcomes with manageable debt—graduates start at $82,924 and climb to $91,841 by year four, with only $20,108 in median debt. That 0.24 debt-to-earnings ratio means graduates can pay off their loans in under three months of gross salary, making this one of the more financially accessible engineering programs available. The earnings place graduates at the 70th percentile nationally, outpacing most computer engineering programs across the country.

The catch is that this is essentially the UConn system standard—all five UConn campuses report identical outcomes, suggesting the data reflects the entire system rather than Avery Point specifically. Still, that's not necessarily bad news: your child gets access to the same curriculum and job placement network as the flagship campus, potentially at a regional campus with smaller classes and an 87% admission rate that may be more attainable.

The 11% earnings growth from year one to year four suggests stable career progression, and the below-average debt load (23rd percentile nationally) gives graduates breathing room early in their careers. For families concerned about cost, starting at a regional UConn campus while accessing the same engineering education and alumni network is a practical path into a high-demand field.
