Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $41,099 track close to the $41,690 national median for Teacher Education programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

A 7.2x earnings multiple over ten years puts this program in solid financial territory. Tuition is well-justified by projected earnings.

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 $19,718 in median debt against $41,099 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

A #186 ranking among 348 Teacher Education programs places University of Vermont in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.

A 31% earnings increase from $41,099 to $53,836 over five years is solid — not a moonshot, but evidence of normal career advancement.
