Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $42,216 track close to the $41,412 national median for Teacher Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
An earnings multiple of 2.6x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.
AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,000 debt-to-$42,216 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #433 out of 679 programs, Emmanuel College's financial outcomes for Teacher Education trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
