Health and Medical Administrative Services at Gwinnett College-Marietta Campus

Gwinnett College-Marietta's graduates earn just above the Georgia median for health administration programs, landing at the 60th percentile statewide—a modest win in a state where debt loads typically run much higher. The $26,222 in student debt sits well below Georgia's $33,597 median for this degree, making the 0.82 debt-to-earnings ratio more manageable than at many competing programs. However, earnings essentially flatline between year one and year four, a pattern that should matter to families expecting steady career progression.

The small sample size here (under 30 graduates) means these numbers could swing significantly year to year, so treat them as directional rather than definitive. The program serves a predominantly Pell-eligible population (63%), which is worth noting for families concerned about support services and peer financial situations. While graduates aren't reaching the earnings of top performers like DeVry Georgia or Ogeechee Technical College—both topping $37,000—they're avoiding the debt trap that makes many Georgia health administration programs risky investments.

For families prioritizing manageable debt over maximum earning potential, this program offers a middle path. The lack of earnings growth is the real concern: at roughly $31,000 four years out, graduates aren't building much financial momentum. If your child is strongly committed to healthcare administration and needs a quick entry point, this works. But technical colleges on that comparison list deliver similar or better outcomes, often with lower costs.
