Health and Medical Administrative Services at Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa

Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa's Health and Medical Administrative Services program falls short of what Wisconsin students can achieve elsewhere in the state. With first-year earnings of $30,013, graduates earn about $4,000 less than the Wisconsin median for this field and roughly $1,700 below the national average. More concerning, the program ranks in just the 40th percentile among Wisconsin's 21 health administration programs, while top performers like Western Technical College and Rasmussen deliver starting salaries exceeding $39,000.

The debt picture compounds these concerns. At $27,000, student debt exceeds both state and national medians by several thousand dollars, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.90—manageable but higher than ideal. While earnings do grow to $32,113 by year four, this modest 7% increase still leaves graduates trailing stronger alternatives within Wisconsin.

For families considering this investment, the numbers suggest looking elsewhere first. Wisconsin's technical colleges consistently outperform Bryant & Stratton in this field while typically offering lower debt burdens. Unless location or specific program features create compelling reasons to choose Wauwatosa, parents would likely see better returns by exploring programs at Western Technical College or other top-performing Wisconsin institutions that deliver significantly higher starting salaries in the same career field.
