What Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions Graduates Earn

Median earnings at 1, 4, and 5 years (College Scorecard)

The three rows below are the whole earnings story Scorecard can tell about Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions: $71,252, then $75,481, then $74,535. Each median is graduate-weighted, built from 171 programs at year one and 246 at year five, and the unweighted program median sits alongside so a reader can see how much the weighting itself is doing.

From $71,252 in the first year to $74,535 in the fifth, earnings grow 5% ($3,283). For scale, the median bachelor's field in the Scorecard file grows from $45,010 to $65,763 over the same span, so this field's early-career slope is gentler than typical.

One more cut of the year-one data: Pell recipients in Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions post a median of $73,219, non-recipients $74,065. That $846 gap is the distance between two different student populations studying under one field name, and it narrows or widens by institution, which the program table below hints at.

Inside its own CIP family, Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions ranks 4 of 14 published bachelor's fields by five-year earnings; the family median at that horizon is $64,868.

Family comparisons strip out the broad field effect and leave the specific program choice exposed.

The student loan payoff calculator replays that schedule with your numbers, and the college ROI calculator weighs the full cost against the earnings table above.

Where graduates of this field earn the most

One field, many markets: the five-year median for Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions is $74,535 nationally, yet the strongest programs below run far ahead of it. The ranking keeps a 30-graduate floor under every entry, and Wagner College heads the list at $160,722.

A program median describes that program's own graduates in that program's own labor market; Wagner College at $160,722 is evidence about a place and a mix of students, not a wage offer. Put the same programs' prices next to these figures with the degree cost calculator and the net price estimator before ranking anything.

Two more facts about the shape of this field: the five highest-paying programs in the table account for only 1.7% of the 12,310 graduates counted at five years, so the top of the table is a thin slice and not the field's center; and the leading program's five-year median of $160,722 sits 116% above the national field median of $74,535. Its median debt, $27,000, runs above the field median of $22,375, which is the trade a student at the top of this table is actually being offered.
