Program Analysis

At $42,056/yr, Teacher Education graduates from Ottawa University-Kansas City land near the $41,412 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The $22,000 debt-to-$42,056 income ratio translates to about 6 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #296 out of 679 programs, Ottawa University-Kansas City's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
