Program Analysis
Graduates earn $33,213/yr, roughly in line with the $38,544 national median for Criminal Justice and Corrections. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 15.4x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.
AI risk is moderate — 36% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $23,179 debt-to-$33,213 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #221 out of 629 programs, Georgia State University's Criminal Justice and Corrections offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth from $33,213 to $52,559 over five years (58% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
