Health and Medical Administrative Services at Miller-Motte College-Berks Technical Institute-Lewisburg

Graduates from this program face a troubling financial equation: they're borrowing $33,597 to earn around $28,500—a debt load that ranks in the bottom 10% nationally while earnings sit well below both state and national averages. Within Pennsylvania, stronger alternatives are readily available. Harrisburg Area Community College, for instance, produces graduates earning $38,736 (37% more) with typical debt closer to the state median of $23,306.

The earnings trajectory offers no relief. Instead of growing with experience, incomes actually slip slightly by year four, staying locked around $28,000. Among Pennsylvania's 36 health administration programs, this ranks in just the 40th percentile—meaning most in-state options deliver better outcomes. With 70% of students here receiving Pell grants, these families can least afford to take on above-average debt for below-average results.

For health administration training in Pennsylvania, community colleges present a clearer path. The debt burden here would take years to justify given the earning potential, and other programs demonstrate you don't need to accept this tradeoff. If this school is under serious consideration, families should request detailed job placement data and compare the total program cost against nearby community college alternatives that consistently produce stronger earnings.
