Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Mid-EastCTC-Adult Education

Mid-EastCTC produces exceptional outcomes in this allied health certificate program, with graduates earning $65,926—more than 50% above the national median and ranking in the 95th percentile among Ohio programs. That puts it ahead of well-established institutions like Lakeland Community College ($57,389) and makes it the highest-earning allied health certificate program in the state among those with available data. The $9,500 median debt is reasonable for a short-term credential, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.14 that students can realistically pay down within months.

However, the sample size here is small—under 30 graduates—which means these numbers could shift significantly with more data. One exceptionally successful cohort or a few outliers can skew results at this scale. The school also reports relatively low Pell grant enrollment at 21%, which might suggest the student body isn't representative of typical certificate-seekers.

For parents considering this program, the risk-reward profile looks attractive: minimal debt exposure combined with earnings that exceed most allied health programs in Ohio. Just understand you're betting on a limited track record. If your child is committed to allied health and can verify what specific roles these graduates are entering (the earnings suggest positions like radiation therapy or surgical technology rather than medical assisting), this appears to be a strong in-state option that delivers outsized returns for a certificate program.
