Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $37,476 track close to the $36,749 national median for Criminology programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 11.0x 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 — 50% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $26,000 debt-to-$37,476 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #53 out of 111 programs, Wright State University-Main Campus's Criminology offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $37,476 to $47,650 shows 27% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
