Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Butler Technology and Career Development Schools

Butler Technology's allied health certificate program graduates earn nearly $12,000 more than the typical Ohio program in this field—landing in the 80th percentile statewide. With first-year earnings of $54,241 against just $15,000 in debt, graduates start with a manageable financial burden that represents roughly three months of income. For a short-term credential, these outcomes suggest solid market demand for Butler's training approach.

The caution here is the small sample size (under 30 graduates), which means these numbers could shift significantly year to year. Still, the pattern is encouraging: graduates are outearning peers at 51 other Ohio programs, many of which are larger community colleges. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.28 is particularly parent-friendly, especially compared to longer certificate programs that can leave students with similar debt but lower earning potential.

For Ohio families considering allied health careers, this certificate offers a practical entry point with earnings that quickly justify the investment. The combination of below-average debt and above-average pay creates breathing room in those crucial first years after graduation. Just remember that these figures represent a small graduating class, so speaking directly with the school about recent job placement outcomes would help confirm the trend holds.
