Program Analysis
Loyola University Maryland's Teacher Education graduates start at $50,539/yr — above the $41,412 national average, though not by a wide margin.
An earnings multiple of 2.3x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.
AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,000 debt-to-$50,539 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #324 out of 679 programs, Loyola University Maryland's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $50,539 to $52,726 over five years (4% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
