How much does Central Connecticut State University actually cost after financial aid?

These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.

What is the graduation rate at Central Connecticut State University?

Central Connecticut State University reports a graduation rate of approximately 48%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.

How much student debt do graduates of Central Connecticut State University have?

Students who borrowed at Central Connecticut State University left with a median of approximately $22,300 in federal loans, and about 49% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.

How much do graduates of Central Connecticut State University earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $58,562 for students who received federal financial aid at Central Connecticut State University. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
