Health and Medical Administrative Services at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College's health and medical administrative services program generates first-year earnings of $34,763—about $3,000 above the national median and placing graduates near the middle of Wisconsin's competitive technical college landscape. While the program ranks in the 60th percentile statewide, graduates trail peers at Western Technical College by nearly $7,000 annually. The debt load of $22,650 translates to a manageable 0.65 ratio to first-year earnings, meaning graduates carry roughly eight months of salary in debt.

The earnings trajectory shows modest but steady growth, reaching $37,880 by year four—a 9% increase that suggests stable employment rather than rapid career advancement. This pattern is typical for medical administrative roles, where experience matters but dramatic salary jumps are uncommon. For families prioritizing immediate employment and predictable income, this represents a low-risk entry into healthcare support services.

The caveat here is sample size: fewer than 30 graduates means these figures could swing considerably year to year. If your child is drawn to healthcare administration specifically and prefers staying in northeast Wisconsin, this program offers reasonable value with debt that won't derail their financial future. However, families willing to consider other Wisconsin technical colleges might find stronger earning potential—particularly at Western or Fox Valley, where graduates earn $4,000-$7,000 more right out of the gate.
