Questions about PsyD Program and school.

[Psychschool]

Has anyone heard of John F. Kennedy University and their PsyD program? I am planning on entering their PsyD program in Fall 2015. My concern is the cost to complete it. It costs about 33K a year. The program is four years long plus one year of internship. I am currently in a different profession and would like to switch over to psychology and become a licensed psychologist. I am hoping that working as a psychologist and serving others for a living will give me more meaning in life. What you guys think? Is it worth it?

The program is costly, has poor outcome data, and is (or recently was?) on probation. All huge red flags, IMO.

Not worth it.

$33k/yr for 4yrs (and % increase in tuition), plus living expenses, books, admin fees, etc. That is easily $200k+.
