Human Resources Management and Services at Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa

Bryant & Stratton's HR associate program costs more and delivers less than most Wisconsin alternatives. At $27,901 in debt, graduates borrow 75% more than the state median while earning $42,884—about $6,000 below what students at technical colleges across Wisconsin earn in the same field. That gap widens over time rather than closes: earnings actually decline 6% by year four.

Wisconsin's technical colleges dominate this field, with programs at Rasmussen, Northeast Wisconsin TC, and Waukesha County TC all producing graduates earning over $45,000. Your child would start nearly $10,000 behind peers from those programs while carrying significantly more debt. The program does serve a population with substantial financial need (57% receive Pell grants), but that makes the debt burden more concerning, not less.

If your child is set on HR, the Wisconsin Technical College System offers demonstrably better outcomes at lower cost. This program ranks in just the 40th percentile statewide—meaning six in ten Wisconsin HR programs produce stronger results. That's a meaningful gap when you're comparing schools within the same state and labor market.
