Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $83,187 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 25% with typical debt loads of $20,500. Monthly loan payments of $217 represent only 3.1% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 93.9% employment rate reflects strong demand for mental health professionals in the Bay Area and beyond. Most graduates enter clinical psychology, counseling, or therapeutic roles where specialized training commands premium salaries. The 67% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates pursue lower-paying nonprofit or community mental health positions initially. Despite the small class sizes and specialized focus, this represents a strong return on investment for psychology professionals.
