Program Analysis

Graduates earn $42,701/yr, roughly in line with the $41,412 national median for Teacher Education. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

The 4.7x return on tuition is positive but not overwhelming. Financial outcomes depend on keeping costs close to in-state rates.

AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $29,750 debt-to-$42,701 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #286 out of 679 programs, University of Mobile's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
