Is Criminal Justice and Corrections at Bowie State University Worth It?

Verdict: AVOID. The numbers do not work for Criminal Justice and Corrections at Bowie State University. With $47,608 in debt and only $50,000 in first-year earnings, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.95x puts graduates in a difficult financial position. Even by year five ($66,500), the earning power does not justify the cost. Look at this major at a less expensive school, or consider a major with stronger earnings potential.
