Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $44,396 at University of New England come in 7% above the national median of $41,412 for Teacher Education programs.

An earnings multiple of 3.0x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.

AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $25,000 debt-to-$44,396 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #323 out of 679 programs, University of New England's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
