Dental Support Services and Allied Professions at University of Wyoming

University of Wyoming graduates this dental support program with remarkably low debt—just $16,542, which puts it in the 95th percentile nationally (meaning only 5% of similar programs have lower debt). That's $8,500 less than the national median for this degree. Combined with first-year earnings of $62,557, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.26, meaning they could theoretically pay off their loans in about three months of gross income.

The earnings themselves slightly exceed the national median, placing graduates in the 63rd percentile nationwide. However, the small sample size here matters—with fewer than 30 graduates tracked, these numbers could shift substantially year to year. Wyoming is also the only school in the state offering this bachelor's program, so there's no local competition to benchmark against.

For families prioritizing affordability, this program delivers strong value. Graduating with under $17,000 in debt gives students financial flexibility that many dental support graduates elsewhere don't have. Just understand that the career trajectory and job market for this field in Wyoming may look very different from what the numbers suggest, given how few students we're actually tracking.
