Mathematics at University of Connecticut-Waterbury Campus

UConn Waterbury's math program delivers solid outcomes that beat most national competitors—graduates start at $53,284, placing them in the 69th percentile nationally and 60th percentile statewide. That's nearly $5,000 above the national median for math bachelor's degrees, and graduates manage this with below-average debt of $23,750. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.45 means students borrow less than half their first year's salary, a manageable position that allows for earlier financial independence than most math programs nationwide.

What's particularly encouraging is the 8% earnings growth to $57,579 by year four, suggesting graduates find opportunities to advance. The program matches earnings at the main Storrs campus, despite a higher admission rate and significantly lower SAT requirements (1070 vs. the main campus). For Connecticut families concerned about in-state affordability, this represents genuine value—you're getting flagship outcomes through a more accessible entry point.

The moderate sample size means some year-to-year variation is possible, but the fundamentals are clear: this program produces math graduates who earn more than most of their peers nationally while taking on less debt. For families weighing whether a regional UConn campus can deliver the same value as Storrs, the earnings data says yes.
