Program Analysis
At $41,322/yr, Teacher Education graduates from Wayne State College land near the $41,412 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.
The 15.1x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.
AI risk is moderate — 30% task exposure — and the 3% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The median debt load of $19,731 represents less than half a year of starting salary — among the lightest debt-to-income ratios we track.
Ranked #148 out of 679 programs, Wayne State College's Teacher Education program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.
Earnings growth is modest: $41,322 to $46,674 over five years (13% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
