Analysis
Similar programs across Connecticut suggest first-year earnings around $62,000 for applied mathematics bachelor's graduates—right in line with the national median. With estimated debt of $25,000, that translates to a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.41, meaning graduates would owe roughly five months of their first year's salary. That's manageable territory for a STEM degree, though not quite as favorable as the debt load at some peer programs.
The challenge with University of New Haven's program is that we're working entirely from estimates based on comparable Connecticut schools and national programs, not actual graduate outcomes. The five applied math programs in Connecticut with reported data all show identical earnings figures of roughly $62,000—suggesting consistent market demand for these skills in the state—but your child's actual experience could vary based on factors like internship quality, specific coursework emphasis, and networking opportunities that don't show up in these numbers.
The practical bottom line: if your child is committed to applied mathematics and comfortable with University of New Haven's academic environment, the estimated debt burden appears reasonable relative to likely starting salaries. But given the complete lack of program-specific data, connecting with recent alumni directly would give you a much clearer picture of where this particular program's graduates actually land—something these peer-based estimates can't tell you.

About This Data
Source: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard (October 2025 release)
Population: Graduates who received federal financial aid (Title IV grants or loans). At University of New Haven, approximately 27% of students receive Pell grants. Students who did not receive federal aid are not included in these figures.
Earnings: Median earnings from IRS W-2 data for graduates who are employed and not enrolled in further education, measured 1 year after completion. Earnings are pre-tax and include wages, salaries, and self-employment income.
Debt: Median cumulative federal loan debt at graduation. Does not include private loans or Parent PLUS loans borrowed on behalf of students.
Estimated Earnings: Actual earnings data is not available for this program (typically due to privacy thresholds when fewer than 30 graduates reported earnings). The estimate shown is based on the median of 5 similar programs in CT. Actual outcomes may vary.
