Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $66,075 track close to the $63,751 national median for Biomedical/Medical Engineering programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 12.1x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.

AI risk is moderate — 50% task exposure — and the 18% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $25,000 in median debt against $66,075 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

Ranked #34 out of 119 programs, University of Connecticut-Hartford Campus's Biomedical/Medical Engineering offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $66,075 to $94,444 shows 43% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
