Program Analysis
National University's Teacher Education program produces graduates earning $40,080/yr — within striking distance of the $41,412 national average for this field.
At 9.6x 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 $31,250 debt-to-$40,080 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #265 out of 679 programs, National University's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $40,080 to $49,988 shows 25% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
