Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Mount Aloysius College

Mount Aloysius College's Allied Health program lands squarely in the middle of Pennsylvania's competitive landscape—40th percentile statewide—but with an important caveat: we're looking at data from fewer than 30 graduates. That small sample means these numbers could shift significantly year to year. What's clear is that graduates start at $55,139, just below both the state and national medians, while carrying slightly less debt than typical ($26,664 vs. $27,000). The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.48 is reasonable, though not exceptional for allied health fields.

The real question is trajectory. Pennsylvania's top allied health programs—like Seton Hill at $101,000 or Thomas Jefferson at $83,000—suggest some schools have pipelines into higher-paying specialties or geographic markets that Mount Aloysius may not access as readily. The college's 90% admission rate and modest SAT scores indicate it serves a different student population than these competitors, which isn't necessarily problematic but does raise questions about clinical placement networks and employer relationships.

For families seeking an affordable entry point into allied health careers, the numbers work—debt is manageable relative to first-year earnings. But the small graduating class and middle-of-the-pack outcomes suggest this program hasn't yet differentiated itself in a crowded Pennsylvania market. If your child has options at schools producing $65,000+ earners with similar debt loads, those deserve serious consideration.
