Health and Medical Administrative Services at Herzing University-Tampa

Herzing University-Tampa's healthcare administration program charges a steep price for modest outcomes. With $47,375 in typical debt—significantly above both the national median ($30,998) and Florida median ($42,867)—graduates start at just $39,231, placing them in the bottom quarter nationally and only at the 40th percentile within Florida. That debt load equals 1.21 times first-year earnings, a ratio that will strain any recent graduate's budget.

The 16% earnings growth to $45,666 by year four helps, but graduates still trail the national median considerably and remain below peers at nearby alternatives like Barry University ($61,949) or even Rasmussen University-Florida ($46,361). Nearly half of Herzing-Tampa students receive Pell grants, suggesting many families are already financially stretched—making this debt burden particularly concerning. The robust sample size means these numbers reflect genuine program outcomes, not statistical noise.

For a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration, this program delivers below-average earnings with above-average debt. Unless your family has specific reasons to choose Herzing-Tampa (location constraints, evening schedule needs), the Florida market offers multiple programs with stronger financial outcomes. At minimum, compare these numbers carefully against schools where graduates earn $42,000+ with less debt before committing to this particular path.
