Eastern Connecticut State University Earnings: $58K (2026)

How much do Eastern Connecticut State University graduates earn?

The reported median is $57,759 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is $458 per year.

Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $57,759, at the 42nd percentile. That is $458 above the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Graduates earn about $1,408 less than expects for similar students. That places the gap at the 50th percentile.

The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $2,116. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $3,524.

Azimuth places the return at the 42nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, the weakest of the four for Eastern Connecticut State University.

Mobility is the university’s strongest pillar, but program-level earnings are far from uniform. Earnings scenarios run from $47,607 on the downside to $74,774 on the upside, with $57,759 as the typical scenario.

These scenarios are modeled from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates. Within the higher-earning programs, median earnings four years after completion are $93,070 in Computer and Information Sciences, $77,395 in Finance, and $75,235 in Accounting.

That spread places program choice alongside mobility in the post-completion picture.

Graduate study is relevant when reading the reported four-year earnings. An estimated 32.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

The earnings figure covers completers who are working and not enrolled, leaving those continuing study outside that snapshot.

Downside shows a lower-earning scenario based on the college’s mix of programs; upside shows a higher-earning scenario. Typical is the school’s reported median four years after completion. These are planning scenarios, not a forecast of your salary or percentiles of individual graduates.

Why the downside matters explores the risk hidden by medians, using older ten-year entrant data. Read about the move to four-year earnings.

Do Eastern Connecticut State University graduates earn more than expected?

Azimuth models what we would expect graduates to earn based on who the college enrolls, how selective it is and its local economy. The difference between that expectation and reported earnings is what Azimuth calls value added.

Eastern Connecticut State University graduates’ reported earnings are $1,408 below that expectation, the 50th percentile for this measure. Unlike a peer comparison, it adjusts for who enrolls.

The breakdown separates the contribution attributed to observed factors from the remaining difference. Neither component establishes how much attending Eastern Connecticut State University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Eastern Connecticut State University report the highest earnings?

At Eastern Connecticut State University, program earnings four years after completion vary markedly across fields, separating higher-earning options from larger programs with more moderate figures. Computer and Information Sciences records median earnings of $93,070 and 29 degrees awarded.

Finance follows with median earnings of $77,395 from 19 degrees awarded. Among the larger programs, Health Sciences posts median earnings of $61,190 across 78 degrees awarded, while Psychology records $51,748 and 86 degrees awarded.

The spread between these higher- and moderate-earning fields makes the chosen field central to how the school-level earnings figure is read.

Reported program earnings vary across fields at Eastern Connecticut State University, even though Business is the largest program family at 15.5% of bachelor’s degrees awarded. The higher-earning fields span computing, business, earth science, and biology.

Four years after completion, Computer and Information Sciences had median earnings of $93,070 and 29 degrees awarded; Finance, $77,395 and 19 degrees awarded; Accounting, $75,235 and 29 degrees awarded; Geological and Earth Sciences/Geosciences, $63,566 and 15 degrees awarded; and Biology, $62,726 and 49 degrees awarded. Awards count degrees awarded in one academic year, while the earnings figures describe program completers four years after completion.

Further analysis

Field choice changes the modeled earnings picture. Scenarios grounded in the program mix put the downside earnings scenario at $47,607, the typical scenario at $57,759, and the upside scenario at $74,774.

Computer and Information Sciences reaches $93,070 four years after completion, while English Language and Literature is the lowest-earning among the largest programs with published earnings at $51,257. The spread shows variation by field.

Eastern Connecticut State University records a median of $57,759 four years after completion among federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled. That median sits at the 42nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, drawn from an earnings cohort of 1,152 completers.

Graduates earn about $1,408 less than the model expects for similar students. Earnings scenarios estimated from the program mix range from $47,607 on the downside to $74,774 on the upside, with a typical outcome of $57,759.

These scenarios are estimates, not observed outcomes for a specific cohort. An estimated 32.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.

The typical earnings scenario is close to the overall median. The upside scenario runs much higher, so earnings vary widely across the program mix.
