Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Fortis College-Cincinnati

Fortis College-Cincinnati delivers solid, middle-of-the-pack performance for medical assisting training. With first-year earnings of $27,198 and reasonable debt of $10,263, graduates face a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38—meaning they'll owe roughly 38 cents for every dollar earned in their first year. Among Ohio's 83 programs in this field, this ranks in the 60th percentile for earnings, putting it ahead of most in-state competitors.

The program's financial profile looks particularly reasonable when you consider the low debt burden, which sits below both national and state medians. While earnings growth is modest at 8% over four years, the quick entry into the workforce with manageable debt makes this a practical choice for students seeking immediate employment. The robust sample size of 100+ graduates gives confidence in these outcomes.

However, parents should note that even the top Ohio programs like Sinclair Community College produce significantly higher earnings ($43,380), suggesting room for improvement. For families prioritizing affordability and job placement over maximum earning potential, Fortis-Cincinnati offers a straightforward path into healthcare support roles without crushing debt. The 78% Pell Grant rate indicates this program successfully serves working-class students seeking career advancement.
