Analysis

Great Oaks' health administration certificate produces earnings notably below what Ohio students should expect—graduates earn about $5,000 less than the typical Ohio program and rank in just the 25th percentile statewide. When nearby Cincinnati institutions like UC-Clermont are placing graduates at $34,500 (44% higher), that's a significant gap for similar training. The $23,902 starting salary barely clears full-time minimum wage and falls well short of what most healthcare administrative roles typically pay.

The relatively modest $9,500 debt load keeps this from being a complete non-starter—the 0.40 debt-to-earnings ratio means graduates dedicate about five months of pre-tax income to loans, which is manageable. However, low debt can't compensate for earnings that trail state and national benchmarks by 17-28%. For context, the stronger programs in this field are pushing students toward $30,000+ starting salaries.

The small cohort size (under 30 graduates) adds uncertainty to these figures, but even accounting for statistical noise, the pattern is concerning. If healthcare administration appeals to your child, they'd likely benefit more from programs with proven track records of stronger placement outcomes, particularly given how many alternatives exist across Ohio's 85 schools offering this credential.
