Associate degree graduates average salaries of $36,058 The Ohio Board of Regent's new report "The Performance Report for Ohio's Colleges and Universities, 2005" details the benefit of higher education investment to the state, employers and students. As of 2004, Ohio associate degree holders had an average salary of $36,058 just six months after graduation. Of the associate degrees granted, 44 percent were awarded in the field of health and 13 percent were awarded in engineering. A high demand in these fields translates into a higher starting salary for these graduates -- $40,461 for health graduates and $37,026 for engineering graduates. According to the Ohio Association of Community Colleges, the Labor Market Information projections confirm that employment for Ohio associate degree graduates is expected to grow by 21.7 percent over the next decade - the fastest increase among all education and training categories and more than double the 9.7 percent average projected for all occupations during the period.
