Analysis

This program delivers earnings roughly on par with the national median, but significantly trails other Minnesota options—including several community colleges that charge far less. At around $28,000 annually, graduates earn about $3,000 less than Minnesota's median for this credential, placing them in just the 40th percentile statewide. Rochester Community and Technical College's graduates, for example, earn nearly $18,000 more per year with the same certificate.

The debt load doubles what's typical nationally for this credential type—$22,135 versus $10,372—though at least it remains manageable relative to first-year earnings. More troubling is the slight earnings decline by year four, suggesting these roles don't offer much salary progression. With half the student body receiving Pell grants, many families here are using financial aid to access a program that underperforms compared to more affordable state alternatives.

If your child is set on healthcare administration in Minnesota, this isn't the most cost-effective path. Community and technical colleges across the state consistently deliver stronger outcomes at lower cost. The debt here isn't crushing, but why pay twice the typical amount for below-median state earnings when better options exist within an hour's drive?
