Program Analysis
Graduates earn $56,947/yr, roughly in line with the $59,453 national median for Allied Health Professions. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.
The 14.5x 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 7% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
With first-year pay of $56,947 far exceeding the $25,000 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.
Ranked #76 out of 195 programs, Eastern Kentucky University's Allied Health Professions offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
