Program Analysis
Knox College's Teacher Education program produces graduates earning $41,934/yr — within striking distance of the $41,412 national average for this field.
An earnings multiple of 2.1x 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-$41,934 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #555 out of 679 programs, Knox College's financial outcomes for Teacher Education trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
Earnings growth is modest: $41,934 to $44,962 over five years (7% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
