Analysis

Champlain College's graduates in Health and Medical Administrative Services earn nearly 40% more than the national median for this field—$61,265 versus $44,345—placing them in the 95th percentile nationally. That's exceptional performance for a program at a school with a 67% admission rate, and it translates to a manageable debt burden of $34,304. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.56 means graduates can realistically pay down their loans while building their careers in healthcare administration.

The Vermont context is harder to assess since Champlain is the only school in the state offering this bachelor's program, but the comparison to national figures tells the story clearly enough. Graduates here are out-earning even the 75th percentile nationally by more than $10,000, suggesting the program has strong industry connections or curriculum advantages that translate directly to job prospects. The moderate sample size (30-100 graduates) provides reasonable confidence in these outcomes.

For parents weighing the investment, this program delivers measurably better results than most alternatives. The combination of significantly above-average earnings and middle-of-the-road debt creates a favorable financial picture that should allow graduates to achieve stability relatively quickly in healthcare administration roles.
