Health and Medical Administrative Services at Diversified Vocational College

Graduates of this program earn roughly $8,000 less than the typical California healthcare administration certificate holder—and $13,000 less than graduates from Santa Barbara City College's comparable program. At $19,101 one year after graduation, these earnings fall in just the 5th percentile nationally, meaning 95% of similar programs produce better outcomes. Even within California's wide range of healthcare administration programs, this ranks in only the 25th percentile.

The debt load of $11,250 is close to national norms, but when paired with such low earnings, creates a challenging financial picture. Graduates would need to dedicate over half their first-year income to debt repayment under standard plans. The 83% Pell Grant rate indicates this program primarily serves students with financial need—making the weak earnings outcome particularly concerning for families who can least afford a credential that doesn't pay off.

For parents considering healthcare administration training in Los Angeles, several better options exist nearby. North-West College in Van Nuys produces graduates earning more than double what this program delivers, and even community college alternatives like Santa Barbara significantly outperform Diversified Vocational College. Unless this program offers unique scheduling flexibility or support services your family specifically needs, the earnings data suggests looking elsewhere for healthcare administrative training.
