Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $43,342 track close to the $41,412 national median for Teacher Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 15.7x 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 — 30% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $22,354 debt-to-$43,342 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #104 out of 679 programs, University of North Carolina at Greensboro's Teacher Education program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.

Earnings growth is modest: $43,342 to $46,600 over five years (8% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
