Program Analysis

Graduates earn $61,741/yr, roughly in line with the $62,640 national median for Applied Mathematics. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

At 9.1x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 61% task exposure — and the 14% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $61,741 far exceeding the $23,495 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

At #35 out of 44 programs, University of Connecticut-Avery Point's financial outcomes for Applied Mathematics trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does University of Connecticut-Avery Point's Applied Mathematics program score?

A score of 54/100 reflects decent absolute metrics, but University of Connecticut-Avery Point trails the majority of Applied Mathematics programs on relative rankings. Context matters more than the raw number.

How vulnerable is Applied Mathematics to AI automation?

AI won't 'replace' Applied Mathematics careers outright, but it is likely to reduce the number of job openings. We model 61% 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 →
