Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $37,231 track close to the $40,284 national median for Security Science and Technology programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

At 5.1x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 46% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $34,630 debt-to-$37,231 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #33 out of 41 programs, Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale's financial outcomes for Security Science and Technology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $37,231 to $45,897 shows 23% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
