Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $42,256 track close to the $41,690 national median for Teacher Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 15.8x 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 — 43% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $25,692 debt-to-$42,256 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #88 out of 348 programs, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater's Teacher Education program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.
The five-year earnings trajectory from $42,256 to $51,631 shows 22% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
