Health and Medical Administrative Services at Middlesex Community College

Healthcare administration programs in Massachusetts typically produce stronger outcomes than the national average, and this estimated picture suggests Middlesex follows that pattern. Based on three comparable programs in the state, graduates can expect first-year earnings around $40,000—nearly $9,000 above the national median for this credential. That puts the program roughly in the middle of Massachusetts offerings, where Fisher College leads at $51,000 but most community colleges cluster in the $34,000-$40,000 range.

The debt side is harder to pin down. The $20,437 estimate comes from national peer programs rather than Massachusetts schools, where reported debt actually runs lower (around $10,000 median). If Middlesex follows the state pattern, the debt-to-earnings ratio would be considerably better than the 0.51 calculated here. Healthcare administration roles—think medical office managers, billing specialists, health information coordinators—offer solid middle-income prospects in a state with strong healthcare employment.

The key limitation here is that both figures are approximations based on peer programs, not tracked outcomes from Middlesex's own graduates. For a two-year degree that should lead to steady administrative work in healthcare settings, the estimated economics look reasonable, but you'll want to confirm the actual debt load before enrollment and understand whether the program has strong placement relationships with Boston-area health systems.
