Health and Medical Administrative Services at Lincoln Technical Institute-Lincoln

Lincoln Tech's health administration certificate shows solid performance for a technical credential, particularly for students who need to enter the workforce quickly. First-year earnings of $29,888 beat the national program median by 8%, and at 60th percentile among Rhode Island programs, it's performing above the middle of the pack in a competitive local market. The $11,159 in debt translates to just 37 cents owed for every dollar earned—manageable territory that most graduates can handle.

The 10% earnings bump from year one to year four suggests modest but steady career progression, likely as graduates move from entry-level medical office roles into positions with more responsibility. With 63% of students receiving Pell grants, this program clearly serves a population that needs affordable workforce training, and the debt levels remain reasonable relative to outcomes.

The practical takeaway: this certificate delivers what it promises—stable entry into healthcare administration at a price that won't derail financial stability. For families seeking a quick path to steady employment in Rhode Island's healthcare sector, the numbers support this as a viable option, though graduates shouldn't expect dramatic salary growth over time.
