Program Analysis
At $50,645 per year, Special Education and Teaching graduates from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania earn slightly above the $44,105 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.
The 12.5x 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 — 44% task exposure — and the 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $27,000 debt-to-$50,645 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
A #17 ranking out of 170 Special Education and Teaching programs nationally puts Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.
Earnings growth is modest: $50,645 to $57,501 over five years (14% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
