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

With a small sample size limiting our confidence, these preliminary numbers suggest Interactive College of Technology's health administration certificate falls short of what you'd hope to see. At $22,518, first-year earnings trail the Kentucky median for this credential by roughly $4,000 and land well below what nearby programs deliver—Jefferson Community and Technical College graduates earn $36,397, for instance. The program ranks in just the 25th percentile statewide, meaning three-quarters of comparable Kentucky programs show better outcomes.

The debt load is modest at $9,408, which sounds reasonable until you calculate that graduates are borrowing nearly half their first year's salary. That 0.42 ratio means if someone dedicated half their pre-tax income to loans, they'd need nearly a full year to pay them off—a tight margin for an entry-level salary. The high Pell grant percentage (74%) indicates this serves students with significant financial need, making that earnings gap from state competitors particularly concerning.

If your child is set on this field in Kentucky, the data points toward community college or other alternatives that consistently produce stronger earning outcomes. With a sample under 30 graduates, these figures could shift, but right now they suggest looking elsewhere unless there are compelling non-financial reasons to choose this particular program.
