Analysis

This Health and Medical Administrative Services program at Miller-Motte College-Conway presents significant concerns that should give parents pause. Despite having very low debt compared to national programs (5th percentile, meaning 95% of similar programs saddle students with more debt), the earnings outcomes are deeply troubling. Graduates earn just $22,506 in their first year—ranking in only the 14th percentile nationally and 25th percentile within South Carolina, where the state median for this program is $29,157.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.06 means students graduate owing nearly as much as they'll earn in their entire first year, which creates immediate financial stress. While the $23,859 debt load is reasonable compared to many programs, it's still problematic when paired with such low earnings. Even after four years, median earnings only reach $24,165—barely above the poverty line for a family of four and well below what graduates earn at competing South Carolina schools like Central Carolina Technical College ($30,472) or Southeastern College-Charleston ($29,499).

The bottom line: this program's combination of below-average earnings and the financial profile of its student body (53% receive Pell grants) suggests graduates may struggle to achieve financial stability. Parents should seriously consider the stronger-performing programs available elsewhere in South Carolina before committing to this option.
