Program Analysis

Graduates earn $36,886/yr, edging above the $31,042 national average for Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences — a modest premium that suggests solid regional demand.

The 27.5x 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 — 45% task exposure — and the 13% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $26,500 debt-to-$36,886 income ratio translates to about 9 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

A #6 ranking out of 62 Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences programs nationally puts Ohio University-Zanesville Campus in the top 10% — a strong but not elite position.

Earnings growth from $36,886 to $71,442 over five years (94% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
