Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $27,637 track close to the $31,705 national median for Psychology programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

An earnings multiple of 3.9x means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition, but not by a dramatic margin. Returns are positive but modest.

Some AI exposure exists in Psychology's typical career paths, with 49% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a -0% gap from the optimistic case.

Median debt of $27,000 represents roughly 12 months of the $27,637 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.

Ranked #743 of 926 Psychology programs, University of Mobile falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
