How this list is ordered
Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Psychology graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only schools with a reported Psychology earnings cohort in Florida appear. The figure captures federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing the program. For 2 of the 30 listed programs the figure is the two-year completion median rather than the four-year one. The metric does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The range and median below cover the 28 schools with a published figure. The spread from top to bottom is $37,428, with Jacksonville University at $62,622 and the lowest listed program at $25,194.
