Program Analysis

At $44,806 per year, Teacher Education graduates from University of Mary earn slightly above the $41,412 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

At 5.9x 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 $23,719 debt-to-$44,806 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #230 out of 679 programs, University of Mary's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
