## How this list is ordered

Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Health Professions graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only schools with a reported Health Professions earnings cohort in Ohio appear. The figure captures federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing. It does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The range and median below cover the 33 schools with a published figure. The gap between first-ranked Case Western Reserve University and second-ranked University of Mount Union is $2,396.

## Job market context in Ohio

Health Professions graduates in Ohio are linked to occupations such as Nursing Assistants, Registered Nurses, and Medical Assistants. Across those occupations the median annual wage is $62,888, and a quarter of workers in those occupations earn less than $53,402. State projections for 2024 to 2034 count about 52,230 openings a year, or about 455 openings a year for every hundred graduates, with more projected openings than graduates. Projections for 2024 to 2034 put employment in those occupations about 3.0% higher. Wages and top occupations exclude management occupations; openings include them. The ranking above uses graduate earnings four years after completing; the market figures describe the broader occupations and are not the same measure.
