Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Saint Joseph rose from 0 to 4. The increase shows up in Rape (0 to 3) and Fondling (0 to 1).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at University of Saint Joseph
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Aggravated Assault, Burglary and Fondling. Rape accounts for most of them.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Motor Vehicle Theft and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where University of Saint Joseph sits on price and outcomes
At $27,989, University of Saint Joseph's reported average net price is cheaper than 59% among 49 Connecticut colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $21,634.

- average net price

- Connecticut median
- 1.9×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,395
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $24,563 for families reporting under $30,000 against $31,958 above $110,000, a difference of $7,395. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $27,989 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $52,053 run about 1.9 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
