Public Health at Bowling Green State University-Main Campus

Bowling Green's Public Health program reports strong earnings at $47,019, placing graduates in the 95th percentile nationally—well above the $37,548 national median. However, the sample size here is quite small (under 30 graduates), which means a few high earners could be inflating these numbers significantly. Before getting too excited, recognize this data may not represent what most students actually experience.

The debt load of $30,500 is higher than both state and national medians, though the 0.65 debt-to-earnings ratio remains manageable if these earnings hold. What's telling is the 60th percentile ranking within Ohio—meaning this program sits roughly in the middle of the pack statewide, not at the top where the national percentile might suggest. Several Ohio schools like Kent State show similar or slightly lower earnings with likely more stable data behind them.

For an 81% admission rate school, these outcomes look promising on paper, but the small sample size is a real limitation. If your child is seriously considering this program, ask the school directly about typical job placements and whether these numbers reflect the usual graduate experience. The data hints at strong potential, but you're making this decision with less certainty than you'd have at programs with more robust graduate tracking.
