Mathematics at University of Hartford

Based on comparable math programs in Connecticut, University of Hartford's bachelor's degree appears to track right at the state median, with estimated first-year earnings around $53,000. That figure also sits comfortably above the national benchmark of $48,772, suggesting Connecticut math graduates generally command a premium. With estimated debt of $21,750—slightly below both state and national averages—you're looking at a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.41, meaning roughly five months of gross pay to cover the full debt load. That's a manageable starting point for a quantitative field where earnings typically grow with experience.

The challenge here is that all these figures are estimates drawn from peer programs, not reported outcomes specific to Hartford's graduates. The small sample size that triggered data suppression could mean anything—a tiny cohort, graduates who didn't respond to surveys, or those working in fields that don't report to the DOE's tracking system. What we know is that Hartford's estimated numbers align with UConn's math program and fall well short of Trinity College's reported $63,000. For an institution with an 83% admission rate, tracking at the median suggests solid preparation rather than standout differentiation.

If your child is serious about math and Hartford offers strong faculty mentorship or graduate school preparation, the estimated debt burden won't be an anchor. Just understand you're making this decision with peer-program averages, not Hartford-specific outcomes.
