Program Analysis

Graduates earn $44,961/yr, edging above the $41,412 national average for Teacher Education — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 3.9x 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 4% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

Ranked #282 out of 679 programs, Viterbo University's Teacher Education offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
