Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $44,194 at York College of Pennsylvania come in 7% above the national median of $41,412 for Teacher Education programs.

At 5.1x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$44,194 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #258 out of 679 programs, York College of Pennsylvania's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
