Program Analysis
At $45,243 per year, Teacher Education graduates from Kennesaw State University earn slightly above the $41,690 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.
The 22.3x 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 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $24,357 debt-to-$45,243 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
A #23 ranking out of 348 Teacher Education programs nationally puts Kennesaw State University in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.
Earnings growth is modest: $45,243 to $51,577 over five years (14% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
