Health and Medical Administrative Services at Interactive College of Technology-Morrow

With a sample size under 30 graduates, these numbers come with significant uncertainty, but they tell a concerning story. This certificate produces earnings of $22,518—well below Georgia's median of $26,061 and drastically lower than top programs like Gwinnett Technical College ($41,337) or Augusta Technical College ($34,351). At the 40th percentile for Georgia earnings, it underperforms most in-state alternatives.

The program does offer one advantage: relatively low debt at $9,408, compared to Georgia's median of $20,822 for similar programs. That's genuinely helpful for a population where three-quarters receive Pell grants. However, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.42 means graduates still spend nearly half a year's income just paying off their certificate. More troubling is that this sits at the 78th percentile nationally for debt—meaning most comparable programs saddle students with even less.

For parents considering this program, the central question is whether this certificate opens doors or merely checks a box. Graduates at comparable Georgia technical colleges earn 30-80% more in the same field. Unless this specific campus offers unique advantages in job placement or scheduling flexibility that justify accepting substantially lower earnings, exploring those higher-performing alternatives—particularly the technical college system—would be worth the effort before committing.
