Program Analysis
Wayne State College's Criminal Justice and Corrections graduates start at $41,869/yr — above the $38,544 national average, though not by a wide margin.
The 15.1x 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 $22,205 debt-to-$41,869 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #195 out of 629 programs, Wayne State College's Criminal Justice and Corrections offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $41,869 to $45,111 over five years (8% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
