Program Analysis
Graduates earn $39,317/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 11.1x 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 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $29,236 debt-to-$39,317 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #331 out of 629 programs, Rasmussen University-Minnesota's financial outcomes for Criminal Justice and Corrections trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
Earnings growth is modest: $39,317 to $45,036 over five years (15% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
