Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at County College of Morris

County College of Morris graduates from this allied health program earn significantly more than typical graduates nationwide—landing in the 95th percentile—with median first-year earnings of $66,060 compared to the national median of $54,327. That's a $12,000 premium right out of the gate. The debt picture sweetens the deal further: at $12,480, graduates owe nearly half what's typical nationally ($19,113) and well below the New Jersey average ($21,828). The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.19 means graduates could theoretically pay off their loans in less than three months of gross earnings.

Within New Jersey's competitive allied health landscape, this program ranks solidly in the middle (60th percentile) among 26 schools. While Bergen Community and Rowan Burlington produce higher earners, County College of Morris still outperforms many peers while keeping debt remarkably low. Earnings growth to $71,760 by year four is steady if not spectacular, but the low debt load means graduates aren't spending years digging out of a financial hole.

For families concerned about educational ROI, this represents a low-risk investment with above-average returns. The combination of strong starting salaries and minimal debt creates immediate financial stability—a rare outcome for associate degree programs. Unless your child can secure admission to one of the handful of higher-earning programs in the state, this is a practical choice that delivers career-ready credentials without the financial burden.
