Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $49,449 put Post University's Criminal Justice and Corrections program 28% above the national median of $38,544 — one of the higher-earning programs in this field.
At 7.5x 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 $29,000 debt-to-$49,449 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
