University of Connecticut-Waterbury Campus

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Connecticut-Waterbury Campus?

Reported outcomes show a 36% four-year graduation rate and a 53% six-year graduation rate for the campus. These measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students; they are not the percentage of all Waterbury students who eventually earn a degree.

The longer measurement period captures students who finish after four years. The reported first-year retention rate is 78%, measuring a different outcome: whether students continue into the following academic year. Transfers, part-time students, and people who change campuses may be represented differently across these measures. Students comparing completion figures should therefore consider the cohort definition alongside their own intended enrollment pattern and major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Connecticut-Waterbury Campus?

Program-level earnings figures associated with UConn offer a limited look at early post-completion income, not a prediction of what a Waterbury student will earn. The College Scorecard figures cited here measure earnings about one year after completion for the relevant federally aided graduate population; they are not Waterbury-only salary figures.

For illustration, reported one-year figures include $71,033 for computer science, $70,444 for registered nursing, and $32,079 for psychology. Those examples do not establish that each program can be completed at Waterbury. Field, degree level, location, further study, employment status, and the timing of measurement all affect interpretation. Earnings also leave out nonfinancial outcomes and may be a particularly incomplete measure for graduates who enter further education.
