Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $58,997 track close to the $59,453 national median for Allied Health Professions programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The 11.2x 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 6% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
At $22,500 in median debt against $58,997 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.
Ranked #78 out of 195 programs, Radford University's Allied Health Professions offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.
Earnings growth is modest: $58,997 to $59,040 over five years (0% gain). This field may have a lower salary ceiling than high-growth professions.
