Health and Medical Administrative Services at Genesee Community College

With a small sample size that limits our confidence, Genesee Community College's health administration program shows earnings that trail most New York peers—landing in just the 40th percentile statewide. While graduates here earn around $31,200 initially, that's $3,000 below New York's median for this program and roughly $13,000 less than what graduates from top performers like SUNY Alfred or Nassau Community College command. The bright spot? Debt levels are notably lower than typical New York programs ($15,902 versus a state median of $26,949), which translates to manageable monthly payments even on entry-level salaries.

The earnings trajectory is essentially flat—growing only 3% over four years—which suggests limited advancement potential compared to programs where graduates see more significant salary progression. Given that New York has 37 schools offering this credential, and several consistently place graduates into positions paying $40,000+, prospective students should weigh whether Genesee's connections to local healthcare employers justify the lower earnings, particularly if they plan to stay in the region. The modest debt makes this a lower-risk option, but the opportunity cost matters when nearby community colleges are producing considerably stronger outcomes. Ask specifically about job placement rates and which healthcare systems actively recruit Genesee graduates before committing.
