Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $32,609 track close to the $31,705 national median for Psychology, General programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

At 6.5x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 49% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $26,875 debt-to-$32,609 income ratio translates to about 10 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #442 out of 926 programs, Trinity Christian College's Psychology, General offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth from $32,609 to $51,241 over five years (57% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
