Program Analysis

Graduates earn $39,290/yr, roughly in line with the $41,412 national median for Teacher Education. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 13.9x 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 2% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $22,625 debt-to-$39,290 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #283 out of 679 programs, University of Wisconsin-Platteville's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
