Program Analysis
Baker College's Criminal Justice and Corrections graduates start at $42,341/yr — above the $38,544 national average, though not by a wide margin.
At 9.9x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 36% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $40,577 debt-to-$42,341 income ratio translates to about 12 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #228 out of 629 programs, Baker College's Criminal Justice and Corrections offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $42,341 to $52,268 shows 23% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
