The $24,303 debt-to-$36,952 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #614 out of 926 programs, Dallas Baptist University's financial outcomes for Psychology, General trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
Earnings growth is modest: $36,952 to $41,236 over five years (12% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
