Analysis

John Patrick University's allied health program produces graduates earning $106,833 in their first year—nearly double the national median and $40,000 above Indiana's top programs like IU-Indianapolis. This places graduates at the 95th percentile both nationally and within Indiana, where they're outearning established state schools by significant margins. With debt of just $30,118, students face a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.28, meaning they could theoretically pay off loans in roughly three months of gross income.

The data suggests access to specialized diagnostic roles that command premium salaries, possibly in imaging technologies, sonography, or surgical technology positions where credentialing and clinical training translate directly to high first-year compensation. The university's 100% admission rate paired with these exceptional outcomes is unusual—it may indicate specialized program admissions within an open-access institution, or strong partnerships with regional healthcare employers in the South Bend area.

For parents, this represents one of Indiana's strongest returns in allied health education. The combination of manageable debt and exceptional starting salaries creates immediate financial stability. The moderate sample size means these results are reasonably reliable, though worth verifying that the specific allied health concentration your student plans to pursue aligns with these outcomes, as "allied health diagnostic" encompasses various career paths with different earning trajectories.
