Program Analysis
Graduates earn $34,654/yr, edging above the $31,705 national average for Psychology — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
An earnings multiple of 2.4x 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 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $26,000 debt-to-$34,654 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #604 out of 926 programs, Syracuse University's financial outcomes for Psychology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
Earnings growth from $34,654 to $63,889 over five years (84% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
