Program Analysis

Wilmington University's Psychology, General graduates start at $35,666/yr — above the $31,705 national average, though not by a wide margin.

The 10.1x 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 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $19,275 debt-to-$35,666 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #238 out of 926 programs, Wilmington University's Psychology, General offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $35,666 to $47,474 shows 33% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
