Program Analysis

Graduates earn $55,279/yr, roughly in line with the $63,187 national median for Statistics. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

At 8.7x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 64% task exposure — and the 18% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $55,279 far exceeding the $19,500 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

At #28 out of 51 programs, University of Connecticut's financial outcomes for Statistics trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $55,279 to $76,845 shows 39% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does University of Connecticut's Statistics program score?

A score of 57/100 reflects decent absolute metrics, but University of Connecticut trails the majority of Statistics programs on relative rankings. Context matters more than the raw number.

How vulnerable is Statistics to AI automation?

AI won't 'replace' Statistics careers outright, but it is likely to reduce the number of job openings. We model 64% task exposure, which compresses field employment probability in our scenarios.

Scores use College Scorecard earnings, BLS employment projections, and AI task-exposure research. See full methodology →
