Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $55,838 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 16.6x 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 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $30,361 debt-to-$55,838 income ratio translates to about 7 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
Ranked #49 out of 195 programs, Idaho State University's Allied Health Professions program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.
Earnings growth is modest: $55,838 to $59,156 over five years (6% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
