Program Analysis
At $31,327/yr, Psychology graduates from University of Wisconsin-La Crosse land near the $31,705 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 14.8x 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 10% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $21,282 debt-to-$31,327 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
A #95 ranking out of 926 Psychology programs nationally puts University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.
Earnings growth from $31,327 to $56,291 over five years (80% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
