Health and Medical Administrative Services at Husson University

Healthcare administration programs in Maine show stronger earning potential than national averages, with the state median at $53,881—nearly $10,000 above what similar programs nationally produce. That makes Husson's estimated first-year earnings of $44,345, based on the national benchmark, look modest by comparison. With only three schools offering this degree in Maine, and Saint Joseph's reporting substantially higher outcomes, there's reason to wonder whether Husson's graduates match their in-state peers or cluster closer to the national average.

The estimated debt load of $33,345 exceeds both the national and state medians for this program, resulting in a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.75. While manageable in absolute terms, this becomes less appealing when Maine's healthcare administration sector appears capable of supporting better outcomes. The combination suggests graduates would need roughly nine months of gross earnings to cover their debt—workable but not remarkable, especially if actual earnings lean closer to the state average than our national estimate.

Given the data limitations and the performance gap between Maine programs, parents should request placement data directly from Husson showing where recent graduates land and what they actually earn. If Husson's grads secure positions comparable to Saint Joseph's outcomes, this represents solid value; if they don't, you're looking at above-average debt for below-state-average returns in a field where Maine employers clearly pay well.
