Program Analysis

First-year earnings of $62,134 track close to the $59,453 national median for Allied Health Professions programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.

With a 16.3x return on in-state tuition over ten years, the financial case for this program is compelling by virtually any measure.

The 7% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Allied Health Professions career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $22,500 in median debt against $62,134 in first-year earnings, graduates can expect to clear their loan balance in under six months of full earnings.

University of Nevada-Las Vegas ranks #29 among 195 Allied Health Professions programs, placing it in the top 5% nationally by our financial outcomes measure.

The limited growth from $62,134 to $66,037 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
