Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $33,099 track close to the $38,544 national median for Criminal Justice and Corrections programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 12.9x 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 $27,000 debt-to-$33,099 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #434 out of 629 programs, Kentucky State University's financial outcomes for Criminal Justice and Corrections trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $33,099 to $42,345 shows 28% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
