Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

The dramatic earnings jump from year one to year four tells an important story here, but it starts from an alarmingly low base. That first-year figure of $20,195 suggests many graduates aren't immediately landing full professional positions—perhaps working part-time, continuing education, or facing delays in certification. While the eventual four-year earnings of $45,746 look more reasonable, that still ranks in just the 10th percentile among Pennsylvania's 37 allied health programs. Compare that to Seton Hill graduates earning over $100,000 or even the state median of $55,986, and you're looking at a significant earnings gap that compounds over a career.

The real concern is that even at the four-year mark, graduates are earning $10,000 less than the Pennsylvania median and $15,000 below the national benchmark for this field. With $26,250 in debt, the financial return lags far behind what students could achieve at other Pennsylvania programs. Keep in mind these numbers come from a small sample of under 30 graduates, so outcomes could vary considerably for individual students. That said, unless your child has compelling reasons to choose East Stroudsburg specifically—strong clinical partnerships, unique specializations, or significant cost advantages—stronger-performing programs in Pennsylvania would likely offer better career prospects in allied health fields.
