Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $41,564 track close to the $41,412 national median for Teacher Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
At 8.8x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $26,236 debt-to-$41,564 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #250 out of 679 programs, Keene State College's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $41,564 to $50,665 shows 22% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
