Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $30,076 track close to the $31,705 national median for Psychology, General 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.

Median debt of $31,000 against $30,076/yr in first-year earnings means roughly 1.0 years of salary goes to loan repayment. That's a heavy but not crushing debt load.

Ranked #688 of 926 Psychology, General programs, Chowan University falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
