What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Professions at The University of Montana

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for The University of Montana and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Professions at the first professional credential level. The FOS file is keyed by CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code, which means earnings and debt figures here reflect only graduates of this specific program – not the school as a whole. IPEDS reports 424 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at The University of Montana, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $82,240 represent Treasury-derived wages, deferred compensation, and positive self-employment earnings four years after program completion for federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. Compared to the national mean of $82,303 across all institutions offering Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Professions, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at The University of Montana, the mean median-earnings figure is $58,372, 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 Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Professions graduates at The University of Montana is $95,599, which translates to roughly $797 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. The descriptive debt-to-earnings ratio is 1.16: cumulative debt exceeds reported annual earnings. This is a PlainCollege comparison, not a federal gainful-employment verdict. Program-level debt and four-year post-completion earnings come from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard field-of-study snapshot retrieved in March 2026.
