Psychology at Husson University

Husson's psychology program posts surprisingly strong numbers for a moderately selective Maine institution, though the small graduate sample means these figures could shift significantly year to year. At $40,628 four years out, graduates earn more than 90% of psychology programs nationwide and rank solidly in Maine's top half—notable considering the state's limited job market for bachelor's-level psychology roles. The $29,000 debt load sits comfortably below both state and national averages, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio that many liberal arts programs struggle to match.

The 15% earnings bump between years one and four suggests graduates are finding their footing rather than stalling immediately after graduation. Maine's smaller economy means psychology bachelor's holders often need to pivot into social services, case management, or administrative roles rather than direct psychological work, and these numbers indicate Husson graduates are managing that transition reasonably well. They're earning within a few thousand dollars of graduates from the University of New England and Maine's flagship campus, despite Husson's lower selectivity and regional focus.

The small sample size is the real wildcard here. With under 30 graduates reporting, a few outliers earning significantly more or less could dramatically alter these figures. For parents, that means this program shows promise but lacks the statistical reliability of larger cohorts. If your student is genuinely interested in psychology and plans to stay in Maine, these outcomes justify the investment—just understand you're working with limited data points.
