Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $49,608 at University of Jamestown come in 20% above the national median of $41,412 for Teacher Education programs.

At 5.5x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,000 debt-to-$49,608 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #175 out of 679 programs, University of Jamestown's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
