Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $32,157 track close to the $36,567 national median for Health Sciences programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 3.4x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 43% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$32,157 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #131 out of 156 programs, University of Hartford's financial outcomes for Health Sciences trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth from $32,157 to $65,224 over five years (103% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
