Program Analysis
Indiana State University's Teacher Education graduates start at $45,862/yr — above the $41,690 national average, though not by a wide margin.
The 11.8x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.
AI risk is moderate — 43% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,500 debt-to-$45,862 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #104 out of 348 programs, Indiana State University's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $45,862 to $46,163 over five years (1% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
