Program Analysis
Graduates earn $40,557/yr, edging above the $38,544 national average for Criminal Justice and Corrections — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
At 9.2x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 36% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $24,437 debt-to-$40,557 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #307 out of 629 programs, University of Cincinnati-Main Campus's Criminal Justice and Corrections offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $40,557 to $49,934 shows 23% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
