Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $54,594 put Dallas Baptist University's Teacher Education program 32% above the national median of $41,412 — one of the higher-earning programs in this field.

The 3.9x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

With first-year pay of $54,594 far exceeding the $22,250 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

Ranked #260 out of 679 programs, Dallas Baptist University's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
