Program Analysis
University of Wyoming's Teacher Education graduates start at $45,901/yr — above the $41,412 national average, though not by a wide margin.
The 18.3x 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 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
Loan repayment is a non-issue here — $14,750 in median debt clears quickly against $45,901 in annual earnings.
A #45 ranking out of 679 Teacher Education programs nationally puts University of Wyoming in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.
Earnings growth is modest: $45,901 to $50,655 over five years (10% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
