Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at University of Cincinnati-Clermont College

UC-Clermont's allied health program gets graduates earning $56,683 right out of the gate—about $4,400 above the national median and notably stronger than Ohio's typical outcome of $48,753. Among the 43 Ohio schools offering this program, it ranks in the 60th percentile, meaning it outperforms most in-state alternatives. The debt load of $17,848 is reasonable, translating to a manageable 0.31 debt-to-earnings ratio that suggests graduates can handle their loans comfortably.

The complication is what happens next: earnings slip to $54,975 by year four, a 3% decline that's unusual for early-career workers. This suggests graduates may be hitting their earning ceiling quickly, possibly due to the types of allied health roles this associate's degree unlocks. That said, even after the dip, they're still earning more than the national median for this field.

For in-state students, this represents solid value—you're paying slightly less debt than the Ohio average while earning considerably more. The program won't match Cincinnati State's exceptional outcomes ($65,094), but it delivers middle-of-the-pack performance at a price point that makes financial sense. Just understand that your child's first-year salary is likely close to their near-term peak.
