Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Bryant & Stratton College-Parma

Bryant & Stratton College-Parma's allied health program produces graduates who earn less than their peers both nationally and within Ohio, starting at $32,115 compared to the national median of $36,862 and Ohio's $35,365. More concerning, earnings actually drop to $30,267 by year four—a 6% decline that's unusual in healthcare fields where experience typically increases value.

The debt load of $24,200 isn't excessive compared to many programs, but it becomes problematic when paired with below-average earnings. With a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.75, graduates face a heavier financial burden than peers at stronger programs like Cincinnati State, where allied health graduates earn nearly $42,000. Among Ohio's 53 programs in this field, Bryant & Stratton ranks at the 40th percentile—solidly below average.

For families considering this program, the math is straightforward: you'll pay above-average tuition for below-average outcomes. The 68% Pell grant rate suggests many students here face financial constraints, making the earnings shortfall particularly concerning. Ohio offers significantly better options in allied health, with several Kent State campuses and Cincinnati State delivering $10,000+ higher starting salaries for similar educational investments. Unless location severely limits your options, stronger programs are readily available throughout the state.
