Analysis

The $26,831 debt load here exceeds what's typical for criminal justice programs in Florida ($25,500 median), though the estimated $39,407 first-year earnings based on comparable state programs lands squarely at Florida's median. That 0.68 debt-to-earnings ratio suggests manageable repayment—you're looking at about eight months of gross income to cover the debt—but this assumes you'll track with similar programs. The reality is that without actual graduate outcomes from Webber, you're making an investment based on how other Florida schools perform, not on this institution's specific track record.

The gap between Webber and Florida's top performers is significant. Saint Leo graduates in this field earn nearly $8,500 more in their first year, while Herzing Orlando's criminal justice graduates approach $68,000—a dramatic difference that accumulates quickly over a career. With 54% of Webber students receiving Pell grants, many families here are weighing this decision with limited financial cushion. Criminal justice typically doesn't command premium salaries early on, so even small debt differences matter when you're earning around $40,000.

If your child is set on criminal justice and Webber offers something specific—location, smaller classes, particular connections—the estimated outcomes suggest a workable but not exceptional value. Just understand you're betting on peer program performance rather than verified results from this school's graduates. If comparable debt loads are available at programs with proven earnings data, that's a safer bet.
