Program Analysis

At $40,516/yr, Mental and Social Health Services and Allied Professions graduates from Ohio University-Southern Campus land near the $38,856 national average — neither a standout nor a red flag.

The 22.4x 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 — 30% task exposure — and the 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $26,000 debt-to-$40,516 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #6 out of 48 programs, Ohio University-Southern Campus's Mental and Social Health Services and Allied Professions program lands in the top 5% — a strong signal of graduate success.

The five-year earnings trajectory from $40,516 to $55,549 shows 37% growth, reflecting steady but unremarkable salary progression.
