Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $32,433 track close to the $31,705 national median for Psychology programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 12.3x 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 — 49% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $19,940 debt-to-$32,433 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #422 out of 926 programs, Middle Tennessee State University's Psychology offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $32,433 to $41,564 shows 28% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
