What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research and Allied Professions at Pima Medical Institute-Houston

IPEDS reports 38 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Pima Medical Institute-Houston, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $36,852 represent Treasury-verified wages approximately one year after program completion, drawn from Social Security Administration records linked to federal financial aid applicants. Compared to the national mean of $37,506 across all institutions offering Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research and Allied Professions, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at Pima Medical Institute-Houston, the mean median-earnings figure is $48,737, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. The median cumulative federal loan debt for Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research and Allied Professions graduates at Pima Medical Institute-Houston is $3,166, which translates to roughly $26 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan.

About the Data

Data from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard Field of Study file. Earnings are median earnings for graduates after completion, drawn from U.S. Treasury tax records linked to federal financial aid applicants. Institutional characteristics come from IPEDS. Debt figures represent the median cumulative federal loan debt at graduation.

Debt-to-earnings ratio compares cumulative debt to annual earnings. A ratio below 1.0 indicates that annual earnings exceed total debt, generally considered favorable. Estimated monthly payments assume a standard 10-year repayment plan.
