Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences at The University of Texas at Tyler

UT Tyler's health sciences graduates earn roughly $10,000 more than the typical Texas program in this field four years out—placing them in the 60th percentile statewide—though the limited data (under 30 graduates tracked) means individual outcomes could vary considerably. The $43,809 median at year four beats not just the state median of $32,447, but also comes within striking distance of programs at Texas A&M and Texas Woman's University. The 28% earnings jump from years one to four suggests graduates are finding their footing in healthcare roles fairly quickly.

The debt picture is manageable but not outstanding. At $23,931, it's slightly below both state and national medians, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.70 that most graduates should be able to handle. However, students here are starting at $34,350—about $1,000 below the national median for health sciences programs—which means the first year or two of loan payments may feel tight even if the trajectory improves.

For families considering this program, the appeal depends on whether you're comparing locally or nationally. Against Texas options, UT Tyler performs solidly in the middle tier with reasonable debt. Just remember the small sample size means these numbers could shift significantly year to year, and they might not reflect your student's specific concentration within health sciences.
