Program Analysis

Graduates earn $47,671/yr, edging above the $41,412 national average for Teacher Education — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The financial case is thin at 2.3x — decade earnings barely exceed the cost of attendance. The value proposition here is driven by factors beyond pure ROI.

Some AI exposure exists in Teacher Education's typical career paths, with 30% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 5% gap from the optimistic case.

Median debt of $25,025 represents roughly 6 months of the $47,671 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.

At #269 of 679 Teacher Education programs, Rollins College scores above the median — competitive but not a standout.
