Program Analysis

Graduates of University of Louisville's Teacher Education program earn $56,188/yr in their first year — 35% above the $41,690 national median, a strong market signal for this institution.

With a 10.7x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 7% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Teacher Education career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $18,750 in median debt against $56,188 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

At #26 of 348 programs, this Teacher Education program outperforms the majority of its peers. The top 10% ranking reflects consistently above-average outcomes.

The limited growth from $56,188 to $56,902 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
