With a 19.9x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 5% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Teacher Education career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $27,750 against $50,600/yr in earnings, the debt burden is moderate. Most graduates should manage repayment without extended financial strain.

Weber State University ranks #10 among 348 Teacher Education programs, placing it in the top 5% nationally by our financial outcomes measure.

The limited growth from $50,600 to $51,390 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
