Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $45,088 at Manchester University come in 9% above the national median of $41,412 for Teacher Education programs.

The 3.4x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
