Program Analysis

At $34,260 per year, Psychology graduates from Life University earn slightly above the $31,705 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

At 7.4x 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 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $31,000 debt-to-$34,260 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #355 out of 926 programs, Life University's Psychology offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
