Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Molloy University

Molloy's Allied Health program posts impressive numbers—$88,757 in first-year earnings with just $31,000 in debt—but there's a significant catch. While these figures crush the national median by nearly 50%, they land squarely in the middle of New York's competitive allied health landscape. The state's median for this program is $92,165, meaning Molloy graduates earn about $3,400 less than typical New York peers, and the program ranks at just the 40th percentile statewide. With top programs like Wagner and SUNY Downstate producing graduates earning $105,000-$129,000, Molloy represents a solid but not exceptional option in a high-performing state market.

The debt picture offers some reassurance: $31,000 sits at the 5th percentile nationally, meaning 95% of similar programs saddle students with more debt. That low borrowing combined with strong earnings creates a manageable 0.35 debt-to-earnings ratio—graduates would need less than five months of gross pay to cover their debt. For a 76% acceptance rate school serving a significant Pell-eligible population, Molloy delivers reasonable access to a well-paying field.

The major caveat: this data comes from fewer than 30 graduates, so individual circumstances heavily skew these numbers. If your family is committed to staying in New York and can access the SUNY system, those institutions may offer better value. But Molloy provides a viable path into allied health professions without the debt burden that plagues many programs.
