Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $37,883 track close to the $38,916 national median for Public Health programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

Every dollar of in-state tuition returns an estimated 18.7x in decade earnings — an exceptional ratio that places this among the highest-ROI Public Health programs nationally.

Some AI exposure exists in Public Health's typical career paths, with 48% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 4% gap from the optimistic case.

Median debt of $23,875 represents roughly 8 months of the $37,883 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.

At #78 of 213 Public Health programs, Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus scores above the median — competitive but not a standout.
