Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Milwaukee Career College

Milwaukee Career College graduates enter allied health careers earning slightly above both state and national medians—$55,462 versus Wisconsin's $55,208 and the national $54,327. That's the good news. The concerning element is the debt: at $30,550, graduates carry substantially more than typical Wisconsin programs (median $20,500) and far above the national median of $19,113. This puts the debt-to-earnings ratio at 0.55, meaning students owe more than half their first-year salary. With 93% of students receiving Pell grants, this debt burden hits a particularly vulnerable population.

For context, Wisconsin's technical college system produces significantly stronger outcomes in this field. Chippewa Valley Technical College graduates earn $69,672—26% more than Milwaukee Career College—while Madison Area and Northeast Wisconsin technical colleges both exceed $61,000. These comparisons matter because they represent accessible alternatives within the same state for similar career paths.

The caveat here is critical: this data comes from fewer than 30 graduates, making it unreliable for confident decision-making. Given the higher debt, modest earnings compared to Wisconsin's technical colleges, and small sample size that prevents verification of these patterns, parents should strongly consider the technical college alternatives unless Milwaukee Career College offers specific programmatic features that justify the trade-off.
