Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at University of Nebraska Medical Center

University of Nebraska Medical Center graduates from this allied health program earn $85,964 in their first year—more than $25,000 above what Nebraska students typically make in similar programs and well ahead of the three other notable allied health programs in the state. Nationally, these earnings land in the 95th percentile, meaning only 5% of allied health diagnostic programs produce better outcomes. With just $12,715 in median debt (less than half the state average of $29,258), graduates owe roughly seven weeks of salary—an exceptionally low burden that's paid off in about two months of earnings.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.15 represents one of the strongest financial pictures you'll find in healthcare education. While Bryan College and Clarkson College produce competent graduates earning around $60,000, UNMC students start their careers with a $25,000 earnings advantage and dramatically less debt. The moderate sample size suggests this isn't a fluke—it's a consistent pattern across multiple graduating cohorts.

For Nebraska families, this is straightforward: UNMC's allied health program delivers top-tier earnings with minimal financial risk. The combination of exceptional starting salaries and low debt makes this program one of the best investments in the state's healthcare education landscape.
