Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Bryan College of Health Sciences

Bryan College of Health Sciences graduates enter allied health careers with relatively low debt—just $31,072, which ranks in the 5th percentile nationally for this field. That's notably higher than Nebraska's median program debt of $29,258, but still manageable given first-year earnings of $60,447. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.51 suggests graduates can reasonably tackle their loans while building their careers.

The earnings picture is more complicated. While matching the national median, Bryan graduates trail the state median slightly, landing at the 40th percentile among Nebraska's allied health programs. That's significant because University of Nebraska Medical Center graduates in similar programs earn $85,964—over $25,000 more annually. Even Clarkson College graduates start about $800 higher. For Nebraska families weighing in-state options, this means Bryan offers neither the state's strongest earning potential nor a clear debt advantage over other local programs.

The critical caveat: this data comes from fewer than 30 graduates, so individual outcomes could vary substantially. If your child has a specific allied health specialty in mind, dig into where Bryan's program leads versus UNMC or other Nebraska schools. The debt won't crush them, but the earnings trajectory suggests this isn't necessarily the optimal choice among Nebraska's allied health programs.
