Program Analysis

Graduates earn $42,845/yr, roughly in line with the $41,690 national median for Teacher Education. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

An earnings multiple of 3.5x means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition, but not by a dramatic margin. Returns are positive but modest.

Some AI exposure exists in Teacher Education's typical career paths, with 43% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 3% gap from the optimistic case.

Median debt of $28,000 represents roughly 8 months of the $42,845 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.

Ranked #259 of 348 Teacher Education programs, Concordia University Ann Arbor falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.

Five-year earnings of $46,891 are relatively flat compared to the $42,845 starting salary — typical of fields with stable but capped salary bands.
