Program Analysis

At $34,302 per year, Psychology graduates from University of Dallas earn slightly above the $31,705 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

An earnings multiple of 2.2x 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 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $25,622 debt-to-$34,302 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #573 out of 926 programs, University of Dallas's financial outcomes for Psychology trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
