Business Administration, Management and Operations at University of New Haven

University of New Haven's business management program produces concerning results compared to other Connecticut options. The first-year median earnings of $34,106 places graduates in the bottom 10% statewide—substantially below Connecticut's median of $54,200 for business programs. Even established state schools like UConn ($57,842) and smaller colleges like Albertus Magnus ($57,953) deliver significantly stronger early outcomes. With $27,000 in debt, graduates face monthly loan payments that will consume a meaningful portion of those early paychecks.

The program does show meaningful earnings growth, with salaries climbing 57% to $53,660 by year four. However, this still leaves graduates essentially at the state median earnings level—what many Connecticut business programs deliver right out of the gate. You're effectively paying for four years of career development that comparable programs compress into immediate post-graduation results.

For families considering a $27,000 investment in a Connecticut business degree, this program underperforms the state market. Unless your child has specific reasons to attend University of New Haven beyond the business program itself, Connecticut offers multiple stronger options that justify similar or lower debt loads with considerably better early earnings trajectories.
