Statistics at University of New Hampshire-Main Campus

In New Hampshire, where only two universities offer statistics at the bachelor's level, peer programs nationally suggest first-year earnings around $60,000—a solid starting point for a quantitative degree. With estimated debt of roughly $20,000, this translates to a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.34, meaning graduates would owe about a third of their first year's salary. That's considerably better than many bachelor's programs and reflects the practical value employers place on statistical training.

The challenge is that both the earnings and debt figures here are estimates drawn from similar statistics programs nationwide, since UNH's graduate sample was too small for the Department of Education to publish specific outcomes. What we can say is that statistics as a field generally produces stable employment prospects—the skills translate across industries from healthcare to finance to tech. The university's 87% admission rate and moderate SAT scores suggest an accessible program, though the relatively low Pell grant enrollment (18%) indicates a student body that may already have financial advantages.

For parents weighing this investment, the estimated numbers point toward reasonable returns, but you're making that decision without hard data on how UNH statistics graduates specifically fare. If your student is committed to quantitative work and this is their best-fit school academically, the projected debt burden shouldn't be prohibitive. Just recognize you're relying on national averages rather than this program's track record.
