Program Analysis
Graduates earn $28,474/yr, roughly in line with the $31,705 national median for Psychology. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 16.1x 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 $25,000 debt-to-$28,474 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #413 out of 926 programs, Kent State University at Salem's Psychology offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $28,474 to $40,904 shows 44% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
