University of Connecticut-Avery Point reports a graduation rate of approximately 62% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). 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 University of Connecticut-Avery Point have?

Students who borrowed at University of Connecticut-Avery Point left with a median of approximately $21,500 in federal loans, and about 37% of students took federal loans at all.

Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
