Program Analysis
Graduates earn $47,272/yr, edging above the $41,690 national average for Teacher Education — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.
An earnings multiple of 3.5x means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition, but not by a dramatic margin. Returns are positive but modest.
Some AI exposure exists in Teacher Education's typical career paths, with 43% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 6% gap from the optimistic case.
Median debt of $27,937 represents roughly 7 months of the $47,272 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.
At #170 of 348 Teacher Education programs, Texas Wesleyan University scores above the median — competitive but not a standout.
