Program Analysis
University of Michigan-Flint's Teacher Education program produces graduates earning $41,809/yr — within striking distance of the $41,412 national average for this field.
At 8.2x 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 2% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $31,000 debt-to-$41,809 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #326 out of 679 programs, University of Michigan-Flint's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $41,809 to $44,078 over five years (5% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
