Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $36,788 track close to the $41,412 national median for Teacher Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

The 10.6x 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 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $23,283 debt-to-$36,788 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #416 out of 679 programs, University of Massachusetts Global's financial outcomes for Teacher Education trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $36,788 to $51,104 shows 39% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
