Program Analysis
At $42,566/yr, Teacher Education graduates from Grand Canyon University land near the $41,690 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
At 7.3x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 43% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,250 debt-to-$42,566 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #171 out of 348 programs, Grand Canyon University's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $42,566 to $49,950 over five years (17% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
