Health and Medical Administrative Services at Ohio University-Eastern Campus

Ohio University-Eastern's Health and Medical Administrative Services program sits right at the state median for earnings, which puts it in an interesting position. While graduates here earn about 4% less than the national average their first year out, they're performing reasonably well compared to other Ohio programs—ranking in the 60th percentile statewide. The graduation debt of $25,750 is notably lower than the national median of $31,000, giving this program a more manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.60.

The 15% earnings growth over four years shows solid progression, with graduates reaching $49,238 by their fourth year. However, that's still well below what students earn at Ohio's top programs—graduates from UC and Ohio State start at salaries that exceed this program's four-year mark. The gap reveals a clear tiering in Ohio's healthcare administration market.

For families seeking an affordable entry point into healthcare administration, this program delivers reasonable value: below-average debt with middle-of-the-pack earnings potential. The tradeoff is straightforward—you're accepting lower earning potential than the state's flagship institutions in exchange for presumably lower tuition and debt burden. If your student can access one of Ohio's higher-performing programs, the salary difference (potentially $15,000+ annually) would likely justify any additional cost. But among regional campuses and smaller Ohio schools, this represents a solid middle option.
