Analysis

Miller-Motte College's Health and Medical Administrative Services program presents significant red flags that should give you pause. Despite having manageable debt levels compared to national averages (5th percentile), the earning potential is deeply concerning—graduates earn just $22,506 in their first year, placing this program in the 14th percentile nationally and only the 25th percentile among Pennsylvania schools. This means 75% of similar programs in PA produce better outcomes.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.06 means graduates owe roughly their entire first year's salary, and with minimal earnings growth over four years (+7%), financial recovery will be slow. When you consider that Pennsylvania's median for this program is $28,145 and top performers like Montgomery County Community College produce graduates earning $38,240, Miller-Motte's results are particularly stark. Even accounting for the school's high Pell Grant population (53%), which often correlates with lower earnings, these outcomes are troubling.

Your child would be better served exploring community college alternatives in Pennsylvania, which consistently deliver superior earnings outcomes at lower debt levels. The robust sample size means these results are reliable, not outliers—this program simply underperforms compared to readily available alternatives in your state.
