Statistics at University of Connecticut-Stamford

UConn-Stamford's statistics program sits right at Connecticut's median for earnings, but that state context masks a less encouraging national picture—graduates here earn about $4,500 less in their first year than the typical statistics major nationwide. The $20,150 debt load is manageable at 0.36 times first-year earnings, and the program serves a largely working-class population (half qualify for Pell grants) at an accessible institution with an 80% admission rate.

The 23% earnings growth over four years is solid, bringing graduates to $68,100 by year four, though they start behind peers at more selective schools. What's notable is that all UConn regional campuses report identical earnings data, which likely reflects system-wide reporting rather than campus-specific outcomes. For in-state students paying Connecticut tuition, the debt-to-earnings math works—you're not overpaying for the credential. But if you're comparing this to statistics programs nationally, understand that graduates here land in the 32nd percentile for earnings.

The bottom line: This is a reasonable choice for Connecticut families seeking an affordable statistics degree from a reputable state system, particularly given the low debt burden. Just don't expect the earning power that comes with more competitive programs—you're trading selectivity and initial earning potential for accessibility and manageable costs.
