Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Institute of Technology

At nearly $60,000 in first-year earnings, Institute of Technology's allied health program dramatically outperforms the typical outcome for this degree—crushing the national median by over 60% and landing in the 95th percentile nationally. The debt level of $26,000 is manageable relative to these earnings (a 0.44 ratio puts most graduates in position to handle payments comfortably), though it does run higher than both state and national medians. What's interesting is the California context: while this program excels nationally, it sits at the 60th percentile among the state's 100 allied health programs, suggesting California generally produces strong outcomes in this field.

The comparison to top CA programs is revealing—Institute of Technology essentially matches the earnings of Loma Linda University and other leading programs while keeping debt considerably lower than many competitors. For a for-profit technical institute serving a substantial share of Pell Grant recipients, delivering earnings that rival private universities represents genuine value.

Your child would graduate with debt equivalent to less than half a year's salary and earnings that should provide real financial stability from day one. That's a strong foundation, particularly in Central California's healthcare market where demand for allied health professionals remains high.
