Psychology at Concordia College at Moorhead

Concordia's psychology graduates start at $31,529—essentially matching the national average but falling short of Minnesota's $36,243 median. That 40th percentile state ranking means six out of ten Minnesota psychology programs produce better initial outcomes, including several at similar or lower debt levels. The small sample size here matters: with fewer than 30 graduates tracked, these numbers might not represent your child's experience if they enroll.

The debt picture offers some reassurance. At $26,899, borrowing sits below the 27th percentile nationally, meaning most psychology programs saddle students with more debt. Combined with solid 36% earnings growth to $42,968 by year four, graduates see real income progression. That growth trajectory suggests the degree opens doors beyond entry-level positions, even if the starting point lags state peers.

For Minnesota families, this creates a calculation problem. You're likely paying in-state tuition at University of Minnesota-Duluth or Metropolitan State—both producing $38,000+ earners with similar debt. Unless your child specifically needs Concordia's environment or has merit aid closing the gap, stronger-performing in-state options exist. The reasonable debt load prevents this from being a poor choice, but it's not positioned as a value leader in Minnesota's crowded psychology market.
