An earnings multiple of 2.6x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.

AI risk is moderate — 49% task exposure — and the 9% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $26,000 debt-to-$33,399 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #731 out of 926 programs, Moravian University's financial outcomes for Psychology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

Earnings growth from $33,399 to $53,108 over five years (59% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
