Program Analysis

At $57,410 per year, Education graduates from The University of Texas at Arlington significantly outpace the $39,301 national average for this major, reflecting strong employer demand for this program's graduates.

The 12.7x 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 — 49% task exposure — and the 10% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $13,250 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

A #5 ranking out of 66 Education programs nationally puts The University of Texas at Arlington in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.
