Analysis
Health and medical administrative services programs across Arizona cluster in the mid-to-upper $30Ks for first-year earnings, and this Mohave program appears positioned right at that state median of roughly $35,500. With an estimated debt load around $20,400—actually lower than both the state and national benchmarks—the 0.58 debt-to-earnings ratio suggests manageable repayment for graduates entering this field. Arizona's healthcare administrative market seems relatively consistent, with even top-performing programs like Pima Community College only reaching about $39,400 in first-year earnings, meaning there's less dramatic variation than you'd see in many other fields.
The practical challenge here is that healthcare administrative roles, while stable, don't command high starting salaries even with successful program outcomes. Monthly loan payments on $20,400 would run roughly $230 over ten years, which takes a meaningful bite from a $35,500 salary. For families considering this path, the calculation hinges on local job availability in Kingman and surrounding areas—healthcare administration positions tend to concentrate where larger medical facilities operate. If your student would need to relocate to Phoenix or Tucson for better opportunities, factor those costs into the equation alongside the debt load. The program appears reasonably priced for what healthcare admin credentials typically deliver in Arizona, but this isn't a pathway to rapid financial independence.
