Health and Medical Administrative Services at Bryan University

Bryan University's health administration program graduates earn $24,928 in their first year—about $10,000 less than the Missouri median for this field and nearly $7,000 below the national average. That 14th percentile national ranking signals real underperformance, especially troubling given that most competing Missouri programs, including community colleges like State Fair and Ozarks Tech, deliver significantly stronger outcomes. The 77% Pell grant rate suggests Bryan serves students who need strong ROI most, yet they're getting one of the weakest results in the state.

The debt burden of $25,445 essentially equals first-year earnings, creating immediate financial strain. While earnings do grow 14% to $28,476 by year four, graduates remain well behind peers from other Missouri schools who started higher and likely grew too. For context, State Fair Community College graduates earn $36,652 right out of the gate—nearly $12,000 more annually than Bryan's fourth-year earners.

If your child is considering this program, the math is straightforward: they could attend a Missouri community college, pay less, and earn substantially more. Unless Bryan offers unique circumstances that justify the weaker outcomes—like exceptional job placement support or flexible scheduling you can't find elsewhere—the data suggests looking at the state's stronger performers first.
