Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences at Wilmington University

Wilmington University's health sciences graduates earn $47,002 in their first year—significantly above both the national median ($35,279) and Delaware's state median ($41,320). This 95th percentile national ranking is impressive, though the 60th percentile state ranking reflects that Delaware has only two programs offering this degree, making state comparisons less meaningful. What matters more: these graduates substantially out-earn peers at University of Delaware ($35,637) while taking on similar debt.

The $25,000 median debt is near both state and national averages, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.53—comfortably manageable. Graduates can expect to handle debt payments without financial strain, unlike many health science programs nationally where debt burdens reach much higher. The moderate sample size suggests consistent outcomes rather than a statistical fluke.

For parents weighing Delaware options, this program offers a clear advantage. Your child would likely earn $11,000+ more in their first year compared to the in-state alternative while paying comparable tuition. That earnings premium matters enormously in the early career years when building financial stability. The data points to strong employer demand for Wilmington's graduates in the local healthcare market.
