Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Bellin College

Bellin College graduates enter the workforce earning slightly below what their Wisconsin peers make in similar allied health programs—about $2,000 less than the state median of $59,563. Within Wisconsin's competitive allied health landscape, this places Bellin near the 40th percentile, trailing programs at Concordia ($67,407) and Marian ($62,018) by meaningful margins. The modest 5% earnings bump by year four suggests graduates quickly approach their career ceiling in these diagnostic and intervention roles.

The financial structure, however, works in students' favor. At $22,588, debt loads run roughly $4,000 below both state and national medians, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.39. That means graduates owe less than 40% of their first-year salary—a comfortable position that allows for faster repayment. The 100% admission rate and low Pell grant percentage (13%) indicate Bellin primarily serves students who can afford its private school pricing, which may explain why debt stays relatively contained despite being a specialized healthcare institution.

For families prioritizing job security in healthcare over maximizing salary, this works. Graduates land solidly middle-class positions without crushing debt. But if earning potential matters more, those other Wisconsin programs deliver $5,000-$10,000 higher annual salaries that compound significantly over a career—enough to justify comparison shopping even if it means slightly higher borrowing.
