Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences at Angelo State University

Angelo State's Health Services program produces graduates earning $31,780 in their first year—notably below both the Texas median ($32,447) and the national median ($35,279) for this field. Among the 29 Texas schools offering this degree, Angelo State ranks at the 40th percentile, meaning roughly 60% of comparable programs deliver stronger earning outcomes. The gap is more pronounced nationally, where graduates here earn less than about 70% of their peers.

The debt picture offers some relief: at $22,250, borrowers here take on roughly $3,000 less than the Texas median and $4,500 less than the national median. That translates to a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.70—manageable but not particularly favorable given the below-average starting salaries. Graduates will likely face monthly loan payments consuming a meaningful portion of their entry-level paychecks.

One critical caveat: this data comes from a very small graduating class (fewer than 30 students), which means a few outliers could significantly skew these numbers. If your student is considering this program, the safer bet would be looking at Texas schools where graduates consistently earn $35,000-plus right out of the gate, like Texas A&M or UT Rio Grande Valley. The current data suggests Angelo State graduates start behind and need to catch up quickly to justify even this modest debt load.
