Program Analysis

Graduates earn $44,170/yr, edging above the $41,412 national average for Teacher Education — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 3.1x 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 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$44,170 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #330 out of 679 programs, Nazareth University's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
