Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $35,393 track close to the $37,397 national median for Cell/Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
At 9.8x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 46% task exposure — and the 16% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $24,234 debt-to-$35,393 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #18 out of 39 programs, University of Connecticut's Cell/Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $35,393 to $85,476 over five years (142% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
