Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $62,386 track close to the $59,453 national median for Allied Health Professions programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 27.8x earnings multiple means ten-year projected earnings exceed tuition cost by an order of magnitude. By pure financial math, this is a standout.
AI risk is moderate — 28% task exposure — and the 8% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $25,500 in median debt against $62,386 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #60 out of 195 programs, Fort Hays State University's Allied Health Professions offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
