Program Analysis

At $48,641 per year, Teacher Education graduates from Assumption University earn slightly above the $41,412 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

An earnings multiple of 2.7x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.

AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$48,641 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #244 out of 679 programs, Assumption University's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
