Analysis

IU Indianapolis graduates from this allied health program earn substantially more than typical Indiana outcomes—about $10,000 above the state median—though you should know these figures come from a small graduating class, which makes them less reliable as predictors. That 84th percentile national ranking suggests strong performance compared to similar programs across the country, while the 60th percentile in Indiana indicates decent but not exceptional standing among in-state options like Ivy Tech.

The $21,299 debt load translates to just 34% of first-year earnings, a manageable burden that most graduates should be able to handle comfortably. The nearly $6,000 earnings increase from year one to year four shows reasonable career progression, though it's worth noting that some allied health positions have more structured salary caps than other healthcare fields.

For Indiana families, this program offers solid value if your student is specifically interested in this allied health track and gets admitted to IU Indianapolis. The earnings premium over cheaper community college options like Ivy Tech might justify the additional investment, but given the small sample size, don't treat these numbers as guarantees. If your child is still exploring healthcare options, consider whether other tracks like nursing or imaging technology might offer more predictable outcomes with larger graduate cohorts to validate the data.
