2023 Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services Popularity

POPULARITY

Allied health and medical assisting services is the 189th most popular degree in America, with 1,271 students receiving their bachelors degree last year. It just beat out #190 Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications, and narrowly lost to #188 Game and Interactive Media Design.

The degree is offered at a total of 56 colleges across the nation, and is the 255th most widely offered degree. It is not offered at any of the Top 100 Best Colleges in America.

It is also worth noting that 64% of colleges offering allied health and medical assisting services are public making it a quite accessible field.

The great lakes produces the most allied health and medical assisting services graduates, largely led by Michigan State University, while it’s the Big Ten Conference that leads conference totals. As far as states, Ohio ranks highest, with particular help from Cedarville University and Ohio State University-Lima Campus.

All that being said, no individual school produces more allied health and medical assisting services graduates than Chattahoochee Valley Community College, which graduated 289 students last year alone. Although size is critical, another important factor to consider is the program’s density (the percent of all students that study allied health and medical assisting services). More students studied allied health and medical assisting services as a percentage of total students at Santa Ana College than any other college.
