Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at International Business College-Indianapolis

International Business College-Indianapolis produces graduates earning roughly $31,000 their first year—well below both the state median of $36,000 and the national average. While the program ranks at the 40th percentile among Indiana's allied health programs, that still means six out of ten similar programs produce better outcomes. Top performers in the state like University of Indianapolis ($51,000) and Vincennes University ($42,000) demonstrate graduates can earn substantially more with similar credentials.

The silver lining here is debt: at $10,565, it's significantly lower than both state and national medians, keeping the debt-to-earnings ratio manageable at 0.34. This relatively light debt load matters when starting salaries are modest. However, with half the student body receiving Pell grants, many families here are counting on meaningful income gains post-graduation, and $31,000 may not deliver the financial security they're hoping for.

The small sample size (under 30 graduates) makes it hard to know if these numbers are consistent or just reflect a particularly weak cohort. That uncertainty itself is a concern. For families stretching to afford any college program, there appear to be more reliable options within Indiana's community college system that cost less and deliver better outcomes.
