Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Brigham Young University

The numbers here tell a concerning story, but the extremely small sample size means they might not reflect the typical graduate's experience. BYU's Allied Health program shows median earnings of just $34,549 one year out—less than 60% of what the typical Utah graduate in this field earns, and landing in the 10th percentile statewide. Even four years later, earnings reach only $38,613, while Weber State graduates start at $67,333.

The debt picture offers some relief: at $16,853, it's well below both state and national averages, likely reflecting BYU's subsidized tuition for LDS students. That low debt load means graduates aren't buried in payments, but it doesn't change the fact that these earnings fall far short of what allied health professionals typically command. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49 is manageable, but only because both numbers are unusually low.

With fewer than 30 graduates in this dataset, these figures could be skewed by program composition—perhaps capturing mostly graduates in lower-paying allied health tracks like health education or community health rather than diagnostic imaging or respiratory therapy. Before ruling this program out, determine which specific allied health concentration your student plans to pursue and seek employment outcomes for that track specifically. The aggregate data suggests significant underperformance, but it may not represent every pathway through this degree.
