Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $60,597 track close to the $59,453 national median for Allied Health Professions programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

At 7.0x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 28% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

At $26,214 in median debt against $60,597 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

At #98 out of 195 programs, University of Connecticut's financial outcomes for Allied Health Professions trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth is modest: $60,597 to $61,582 over five years (2% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
