Agricultural Production Operations at University of Connecticut-Stamford

The numbers here track exactly with state and national medians, but the small sample size—fewer than 30 graduates—makes it hard to draw firm conclusions. UConn's Stamford campus isn't exactly known for agricultural programs, and the data suggests this might be students taking scattered ag courses through the broader UConn system rather than a robust standalone program. That matters because it means these outcomes could shift dramatically year to year.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.58 is manageable—graduates owe roughly seven months of their first-year salary. At $38,000 annually, new grads are earning what's typical for ag production majors nationwide, though this sits at the lower end of what four-year degree holders generally make. The state ranking at the 60th percentile looks decent on paper, but Connecticut only has five schools reporting data for this program, so that percentile ranking doesn't carry much weight.

The real question is whether Stamford's suburban location supports ag career connections. If your child is serious about agricultural production, look carefully at where UConn's actual resources and farm operations are concentrated—likely at the main Storrs campus, not Stamford. The matching earnings across all UConn campuses in the state data suggests students may be grouped together regardless of location, which makes campus-specific guidance impossible here.
