Program Analysis

Graduates earn $27,335/yr, roughly in line with the $30,427 national median for English. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

A 8.3x earnings multiple over ten years puts this program in solid financial territory. Tuition is well-justified by projected earnings.

The 12% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some English career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $21,824 against $27,335/yr in earnings, the debt burden is moderate. Most graduates should manage repayment without extended financial strain.

A #252 ranking among 493 English programs places University of Connecticut-Avery Point in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.

The $27,335-to-$56,658 earnings arc over five years reflects a 107% gain — well above average career growth for recent graduates.
