Program Analysis
Elizabethtown College's Teacher Education graduates start at $50,725/yr — above the $41,412 national average, though not by a wide margin.
The 3.6x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.
AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,000 debt-to-$50,725 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #233 out of 679 programs, Elizabethtown College's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $50,725 to $53,887 over five years (6% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
