Health and Medical Administrative Services at Miller-Motte College-Macon
Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma
miller-motte.eduAnalysis
This program presents significant financial challenges that warrant serious consideration. With median starting earnings of $22,506, graduates earn substantially less than both the national median ($27,783) and Georgia state median ($26,061) for similar programs. More concerning, the program ranks in just the 14th percentile nationally and 40th percentile within Georgia, meaning most comparable programs deliver better outcomes.
The debt burden compounds these concerns. While the $23,859 median debt is actually higher than Georgia's median ($20,822) for this field, it creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.06βmeaning graduates owe more than they'll earn in their first year. This is particularly troubling given that 84% of students receive Pell grants, indicating most families have limited financial resources. The modest 7% earnings growth over four years offers little relief from this financial pressure.
Georgia offers significantly better alternatives within the same field. Gwinnett Technical College graduates earn $41,337βnearly double this program's outcomesβwhile Augusta Technical and West Georgia Technical both exceed $33,000. Unless there are compelling geographic or scheduling constraints that make Miller-Motte the only viable option, families would be better served exploring these higher-performing programs that offer the same career preparation with substantially better financial returns.
