Outcomes Overview
University of Bridgeport graduates earn a median salary of $50,323 ten years after graduation. With median debt of $25,750, graduates carry a debt-to-earnings ratio of 51%, which is reasonable compared to national averages. Monthly loan payments of $273 represent about 6.5% of typical graduate income. The school's engineering and health sciences programs traditionally lead to stable career paths in manufacturing, healthcare, and technology sectors. However, the 48% six-year graduation rate means many students don't complete their degrees. The 96% employment rate for graduates who do finish is encouraging. Given the modest debt levels and decent earning potential in practical fields, this represents an average return on investment.
