Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Professional Skills Institute

Compared to Ohio's 53 allied health programs, Professional Skills Institute lands squarely in the middle—60th percentile for graduate earnings—but the estimated $25,563 in debt tells a tougher story. Similar programs nationally carry around $19,825 in debt, and Ohio's median sits at $21,542, suggesting graduates here may be borrowing significantly more than peers elsewhere for comparable outcomes. With first-year earnings of $35,434, that puts the debt-to-earnings ratio at 0.72—manageable territory, but not comfortable when you consider the limited growth ahead.

The flatness matters more than the starting point. Four years out, earnings creep up only 4% to $36,778, while top Ohio programs like Cincinnati State produce graduates earning $41,891. That $5,000+ gap compounds year after year. For a school serving 73% Pell-eligible students, higher debt paired with below-average earnings creates financial pressure that doesn't ease much over time.

If your child is set on allied health in Ohio and this is the most accessible option, the debt-to-earnings ratio won't sink them—but look hard at whether that estimated debt figure reflects true program costs here, and whether community college alternatives might deliver similar credentials with less borrowing and better placement outcomes.
