Program Analysis
Michigan State University's Education graduates start at $44,705/yr — above the $39,301 national average, though not by a wide margin.
At 8.1x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 49% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $26,000 debt-to-$44,705 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #13 out of 66 programs, Michigan State University's Education program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.
Earnings growth is modest: $44,705 to $52,112 over five years (17% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
