Program Analysis

At $43,243/yr, Teacher Education graduates from Indiana University-Southeast land near the $41,412 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The 14.5x 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 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The median debt load of $19,500 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.

Ranked #132 out of 679 programs, Indiana University-Southeast's Teacher Education program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.

Earnings growth is modest: $43,243 to $46,106 over five years (7% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
