Health and Medical Administrative Services at Concorde Career College-Southaven

Concorde Career College-Southaven's health administrative program costs less than typical alternatives—just $9,500 in debt versus the national median of $10,372—but that modest advantage doesn't offset concerning earnings trends. Graduates earn $25,088 in their first year, which actually beats Mississippi's median for this credential ($24,993), placing the program in the 60th percentile statewide. However, earnings slip to $24,355 by year four, suggesting limited career progression. Nationally, these outcomes land in just the 28th percentile, reflecting Mississippi's lower wage environment for medical administrative work.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38 is manageable, and serving primarily Pell-eligible students (79% of the population), Concorde provides accessible entry to healthcare administration. But that declining earnings trajectory matters: while you'll repay the relatively small loan, your child may find themselves stuck at entry-level wages without clear advancement. Compare this to nearby Delta Technical College, which shows similar first-year outcomes at the same debt level.

If your child needs quick workforce entry in healthcare administration and staying in Mississippi is the plan, this program works—the debt won't cripple them. Just set expectations realistically: this is a credential for securing an administrative job, not for building toward higher-paying roles. The early earnings plateau suggests limited room for growth without additional education or certification.
