Program Analysis

Springfield College's Education graduates start at $45,906/yr — above the $39,301 national average, though not by a wide margin.

An earnings multiple of 2.9x means the program roughly breaks even in financial terms over ten years. Non-financial factors need to justify the investment.

AI risk is moderate — 49% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$45,906 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #30 out of 66 programs, Springfield College's Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
