Environmental Control Technologies/Technicians at The University of Findlay

The University of Findlay's Environmental Control Technologies program shows impressive starting salaries—$67,266 beats the national median by more than $11,000—but there's an important caveat. With fewer than 30 graduates in the data, these numbers could shift significantly year to year. That said, the 95th percentile national ranking and reasonable $26,000 debt load (well below typical bachelor's debt) suggest graduates are landing solid positions in environmental compliance, air quality management, or industrial hygiene roles that pay well from day one.

The earnings trajectory adds confidence to these numbers: graduates see 17% income growth by year four, reaching $78,401. That's meaningful career momentum, and the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.39 means students can manage their loans without financial strain. Since Findlay is the only Ohio school in the federal data for this program, you can't make state-level comparisons, but the strong national standing matters more here—environmental control work often crosses state lines anyway.

The small sample size is the real wildcard. A few graduates landing exceptionally good (or bad) jobs could dramatically affect these figures. If your child is genuinely interested in environmental compliance and pollution control, the fundamentals look sound—manageable debt, strong starting pay, and steady growth. Just recognize you're looking at a limited dataset from a program that hasn't yet established a long track record in the federal reporting system.
