# Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine

Philadelphia, PA · Private nonprofit · Graduate-granting

> Federal College Scorecard institution **medians** — not a prediction of any one student's outcome, and not a figure for any single program. Earnings/debt cover federally-aided students.

## The bottom line

| Typical earnings, 10 yrs after entry | $138,767 | recorded |

| Debt ÷ a year's earnings | not reported | derived |
| Earnings premium vs $28k HS benchmark | $110,767 | derived |





## Earnings by major (the number that decides "worth it")

> **Different measure — read on its own terms.** These are median earnings **1 year after completing the program** (early career, graduates only) — NOT the 10-years-after-entry school-wide figure above. Do not compare a program figure to the school figure; compare majors to each other. The Dept. of Education omits programs with too few graduates.

By program, early-career pay ranges from $34,369 to $112,302 across 4 program(s).

| Major | Credential | Pay (1 yr out) | Median debt |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions. | Master's Degree | $112,302 | $126,506 |
| Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration. | First Professional Degree | $108,799 | $230,708 |
| Clinical, Counseling and Applied Psychology. | Doctoral Degree | $69,917 | $168,943 |
| Mental and Social Health Services and Allied Professions. | Master's Degree | $34,369 | $52,611 |

## What this is — and is NOT

Institution-wide medians from the U.S. Dept. of Education College Scorecard. **Not** a prediction of what you would earn or owe, **not** a figure for any single program (a CS and a fine-arts graduate of the same school diverge enormously), **not** proof the school caused the outcome (selection, not causation), and **not** a "best college" ranking.
