Program Analysis
Graduates earn $35,358/yr, roughly in line with the $36,554 national median for Social Work. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 19.8x 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 — 24% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $18,562 debt-to-$35,358 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #97 out of 338 programs, University of Central Florida's Social Work offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $35,358 to $47,972 shows 36% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
