Health and Medical Administrative Services at Central Community College

Central Community College graduates earn substantially more than the national average for medical administrative programs—$43,366 versus $31,719—placing this program in the 95th percentile nationwide. That's impressive context, though within Nebraska it's more typical: six schools offer this program statewide, and CCC ranks in the middle of the pack, just below the state median of $43,739. Metropolitan Community College's similar program edges it out slightly at $44,112.

The debt picture requires more caution. At $13,227, graduates carry notably higher debt than the state median of $14,602 would suggest is normal—this sits in the 86th percentile nationally, meaning most comparable programs saddle students with less debt. However, the 0.31 debt-to-earnings ratio remains manageable, meaning graduates earn back their entire debt load in roughly four months of gross income.

The critical caveat: this data reflects fewer than 30 graduates, so these numbers could shift considerably with a larger sample. If your child is specifically targeting medical administrative work in Nebraska and values the community college price point, this delivers solid earnings potential for the degree level. Just recognize you're paying slightly above-average debt for what appears to be middle-of-the-road performance within the state. The small cohort size means you should ask the school directly about placement rates and whether these earnings reflect typical outcomes.
