Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at NHTI-Concord's Community College

NHTI's diagnostic health program reports first-year earnings of $73,683—60% higher than the national median for similar programs and landing graduates in the 95th percentile nationally. That's impressive on paper, but there's a significant catch: with fewer than 30 graduates in the dataset, these numbers could swing dramatically with just a few outliers. The debt load of $33,850 is more than double the national median, though the strong initial earnings bring the debt-to-income ratio to a manageable 0.46.

What makes interpretation tricky here is that NHTI appears to be the only New Hampshire institution reporting data for this program type. The 60th percentile state ranking is misleading—it's just NHTI compared to itself. Without other in-state programs or multiple years of data, it's hard to know whether this represents consistently strong outcomes or a particularly successful cohort. Allied health diagnostic programs typically include fields like radiologic technology and sonography, which can command solid salaries, and these numbers align with what those specialties earn.

If your child is considering this program, the career field shows genuine promise, but treat these specific numbers as directional rather than definitive. The debt level is substantial for a certificate program, so confirming the exact specialization and verifying typical starting salaries in New Hampshire's healthcare market would be wise steps before committing.
