Program Analysis
At $36,573/yr, Social Work graduates from University of West Florida land near the $36,554 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 16.2x 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 1% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $14,192 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #154 out of 338 programs, University of West Florida's Social Work offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $36,573 to $37,625 over five years (3% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
