Health and Medical Administrative Services (Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma) at Genesis Career College-Lebanon

Analysis

The small sample size here demands caution, but the pattern is troubling: graduates earn just $23,549 their first year—nearly $4,000 below Tennessee's median for this credential and $4,200 below the national benchmark. That 19th percentile ranking nationally means four out of five similar programs deliver better earnings outcomes. Even within Tennessee, where healthcare administrative pay runs lower than many states, this program sits squarely at the median for debt while underperforming on earnings. Compare this to Ross Medical Education Center's Johnson City campus, where similar certificate holders earn $31,401—that's 33% more for comparable training.

The debt load of $9,500 isn't catastrophic, and the 0.40 debt-to-earnings ratio suggests graduates can theoretically manage payments. But earning under $24,000 means tight monthly budgets where even modest loan payments strain finances. With over half the student body receiving Pell grants, many families here are already financially stretched.

The fundamental question: why choose a program that delivers below-average results when Tennessee has at least five better options for the same credential? Unless there are compelling geographic or scheduling reasons specific to this Lebanon location, families should explore alternatives. The state's technical colleges, in particular, show consistently stronger outcomes for healthcare administrative training.
