Health and Medical Administrative Services at Miller-Motte College-McCann-Monroe

This program presents significant financial concerns that warrant careful consideration. While Miller-Motte's earnings fall right at Louisiana's median for health administration certificates, they lag substantially behind national standards—ranking only in the 14th percentile nationally with starting salaries of $22,506 versus a national median of $27,783. More troubling is the debt burden: at $23,859, graduates carry more than twice the typical debt load for this field nationally, though the school does rank in the favorable 5th percentile for debt levels compared to similar programs.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.06 means graduates owe roughly their entire first year's salary, creating immediate financial pressure. With 74% of students receiving Pell grants, this suggests the student body may be particularly vulnerable to debt burdens. While earnings do grow modestly to $24,165 by year four, this 7% increase barely keeps pace with inflation and remains well below what graduates at Louisiana's top programs earn starting out.

The bottom line: you're paying premium prices for below-average outcomes. Several Louisiana alternatives like Delgado Community College and Delta College offer significantly better earning potential in the same field. Unless there are compelling geographic or scheduling constraints, this program's combination of high debt and low earnings makes it a risky investment for your child's future financial stability.
