Health and Medical Administrative Services at Herzing University-Orlando

Herzing University-Orlando's Health and Medical Administrative Services program sits in a challenging position: while the $47,375 debt burden is higher than 83% of similar programs nationally, it actually tracks close to Florida's median debt load for this field. More concerning is that first-year earnings of $39,231 fall significantly below the national benchmark of $44,345, ranking in just the 23rd percentile nationally. However, context matters—among Florida programs specifically, these outcomes land near the middle (40th percentile), suggesting the state's healthcare administration market may simply pay less than other regions.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.21 means graduates owe more than a full year's salary, which requires careful planning but isn't insurmountable with steady employment. The 16% earnings growth to $45,666 by year four shows positive momentum, though graduates still trail competitors like Barry University ($61,949) by a substantial margin. With 60% of students receiving Pell grants, this program clearly serves students who need accessible pathways into healthcare administration.

For families comfortable with moderate debt and realistic about Florida's healthcare administration salaries, this can work—especially if the flexible scheduling or location fits your child's needs. But if minimizing debt is the priority, looking at Florida's community college programs that feed into this field might offer a more economical entry point.
