Compare 13 Advertising. programs in Ohio. Average earnings: $45,447.
While school rankings suggest predictable outcomes, Advertising tells a different story. Across 13 programs, earnings range from $27,068 to $65,121—variation that tracks program quality, not overall school reputation.
Miami University-Oxford's Advertising program leads with graduates earning $65,121, well above the $45,447 average across Ohio programs. Kent State follows at $53,234, proving that state universities compete effectively in this field regardless of overall institutional prestige.
High earnings don't tell the whole story — debt burden matters. Miami University-Oxford graduates borrow $23,000 and face just a 7.4% payment burden, landing in the 'Excellent' category. That means loan payments take a minimal bite out of their post-grad income.
