Health and Medical Administrative Services at Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology

Based on comparable health administration programs in Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute appears positioned in the lower middle of the state's range. The estimated $42,938 first-year salary tracks closely with both state and national medians for this bachelor's degree, but falls well short of what top Massachusetts programs report—Fisher College graduates earn over $61,000, while Stonehill exceeds $50,000. With an estimated debt load of $28,607, the 0.67 debt-to-earnings ratio suggests manageable repayment, but that assumes the actual outcomes match these peer-program projections.

The challenge here is the lack of program-specific data, which likely reflects small graduating cohorts. For anxious parents, this raises a practical question: does a smaller program mean fewer networking opportunities and employer connections in Boston's competitive healthcare market? The 40% Pell grant population indicates the school serves students who need financial aid to work, making that first-year salary particularly important. Healthcare administration roles in Boston typically demand strong local connections, and without knowing this program's actual placement track record, you're essentially betting on the school's reputation to deliver outcomes similar to other Massachusetts programs.

If your child is set on this field and this institution, request placement data directly from the admissions office. Ask specifically where recent graduates landed jobs and what their starting salaries were. The estimates suggest viability, but the absence of reported outcomes means you're making decisions with less certainty than you'd have at programs with transparent data.
