Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at University of Cincinnati-Clermont College

UC-Clermont's allied health program produces graduates who earn roughly the middle of the pack nationally but perform better than most Ohio programs, ranking in the 60th percentile statewide. The $36,862 starting salary trails top Ohio programs like Cincinnati State by about $5,000, but the debt load here is notably manageable—$25,875 is actually below both the Ohio median ($21,542) and well below the national average. More importantly, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.70 means graduates owe less than a year's salary, a comfortable position for an associate degree that typically leads to steady healthcare employment.

The 17% earnings growth from year one to year four suggests career advancement opportunities, with graduates reaching $43,289 after four years. That trajectory is solid for allied health roles, which often allow for specialization and certification advancement over time. The moderate sample size indicates this is an established program, though it's worth noting that only 11% of students across the institution receive Pell grants, suggesting this may not be the most affordable campus option for lower-income students.

For families seeking a practical healthcare credential without excessive debt, this program delivers reasonable value. Your child won't command top-market wages immediately, but they'll enter a stable field with room for growth and manageable monthly loan payments.
