Program Analysis

Graduates earn $36,776/yr, roughly in line with the $41,690 national median for Teacher Education. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 19.9x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.

AI risk is moderate — 43% task exposure — and the 12% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $18,750 debt-to-$36,776 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #97 out of 348 programs, SUNY Oneonta's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth from $36,776 to $66,871 over five years (82% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
