Program Analysis

University of Minnesota-Morris's Teacher Education graduates start at $46,414/yr — above the $41,412 national average, though not by a wide margin.

At 8.3x 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 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

Loan repayment is a non-issue here — $22,866 in median debt clears quickly against $46,414 in annual earnings.

Ranked #196 out of 679 programs, University of Minnesota-Morris's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth is modest: $46,414 to $46,783 over five years (1% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
