Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $48,634 at Nevada State University come in 17% above the national median of $41,412 for Teacher Education programs.
The 20.5x 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 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $24,585 debt-to-$48,634 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Earnings growth is modest: $48,634 to $52,661 over five years (8% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
