Health and Medical Administrative Services at Fisher College

Fisher College's Health and Medical Administrative Services program shows unusually strong first-year earnings at $61,133—42% above Massachusetts' median and in the 95th percentile nationally. That puts graduates roughly $10,000 ahead of even the top-ranked program in the state (Stonehill College at $51,000). The $36,000 debt load is moderate, creating a manageable 0.59 debt-to-earnings ratio that's actually below the national median for this field.

The significant red flag here is the earnings trajectory: graduates earn less four years out ($57,817) than they did one year after graduation. This backward slide is unusual and could signal that either the initial placements don't lead to career advancement, or that the small sample size (under 30 graduates) is creating statistical noise. It's worth noting that even with this decline, four-year earnings still exceed the state median by 35%.

Given the small cohort size, these numbers could swing dramatically year to year. If your child is considering this program, the immediate post-graduation outcomes look promising—particularly for the 42% of students receiving Pell grants who might struggle with higher debt loads elsewhere. However, the earnings decline pattern means you should dig into actual job placement data and alumni career paths before committing, since these numbers might not reflect a stable pattern.
