Frequently Asked Questions

What explains the massive cost differences between UConn campuses offering the same biology degree?

UConn's regional campuses in Waterbury, Avery Point, Hartford, and Stamford offer significantly lower net prices ranging from $8,896 to $14,059 compared to the main Storrs campus at $22,886. All UConn locations share identical median earnings of $38,289, making the regional campuses strong value propositions for biology students.

How do graduation rates vary across Connecticut's biology programs?

Yale leads with a 96.30% graduation rate, followed by UConn Storrs at 83.80% and Sacred Heart at 74.50%. UConn's regional campuses show lower completion rates between 56.70% and 65.40%, though they maintain the same earning potential as the main campus.

Does Yale's biology program justify its higher costs given lower earnings?

Yale graduates earn $31,305 median income, about $7,000 less than UConn biology graduates who earn $38,289. However, Yale students carry only $19,500 in debt compared to UConn's $24,234, and the 96.30% graduation rate far exceeds other options in the state.
