Program Analysis

At $30,816/yr, Research and Experimental Psychology graduates from University of North Florida land near the $35,198 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The 16.6x 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 — 44% task exposure — and the 2% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $16,200 debt-to-$30,816 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #40 out of 84 programs, University of North Florida's Research and Experimental Psychology offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
