Analysis
Comparable mathematics programs in Connecticut suggest first-year earnings around $53,000 for this bachelor's degree, which would place it right at the state median—and notably above the national benchmark of roughly $49,000. When paired with an estimated debt load of $21,750 (derived from similar private universities nationally), the 0.41 debt-to-earnings ratio lands in reasonable territory for a STEM field. Mathematics graduates typically see strong long-term career trajectories, and these initial numbers suggest the fundamentals are workable.
The challenge for parents is the estimation itself. With an 81% admission rate and modest selectivity, University of New Haven admits a broad range of students, yet the graduate sample here was too small for the Department of Education to report actual outcomes. That could mean several things—perhaps the program is quite small, or perhaps many students switch majors before graduating. Either way, you're making a decision without knowing how *this specific program's* graduates actually fare in the job market.
Given the peer data, the financial framework appears sustainable if your child completes the degree and enters a quantitative field. But acknowledge you're taking on uncertainty about program quality and graduate success that you wouldn't face at nearby UConn or Trinity, where actual outcomes data exists. If your child is set on University of New Haven, dig into placement rates, internship support, and where recent graduates have actually landed jobs.

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 8 similar programs in CT. Actual outcomes may vary.
