Health and Medical Administrative Services at Lincoln Technical Institute-Paramus

Lincoln Technical Institute-Paramus sits squarely in the middle of New Jersey's medical administrative training landscape—earning better than the national average but trailing about half of in-state competitors. Graduates start at $29,888, which lands above the national median but below what you'd find at several other Garden State options like Eastwick College-Nutley (where grads earn $37,622). That 40th percentile ranking among New Jersey programs matters because most students will be job-hunting locally, competing directly with grads from these other schools.

The financial picture is manageable: $11,159 in debt requires just four months of first-year earnings to repay, and incomes do grow 10% by year four. With 60% of students receiving Pell grants, this program clearly serves working-class families looking for quick workforce entry. The moderate debt load won't derail anyone's financial future.

For anxious parents weighing options, recognize that your child could earn $3,000-$8,000 more annually by choosing a different New Jersey program with similar training time. If Paramus offers significant location advantages or scholarship opportunities that other schools don't, it's a viable path into healthcare administration. But if you're comparing programs on equal footing, higher-performing alternatives exist within the state.
