Health and Medical Administrative Services at Pima Medical Institute-Colorado Springs

Pima Medical Institute-Colorado Springs delivers solid outcomes for this health administration certificate, with earnings that exceed both national and state medians while keeping debt surprisingly manageable. At $28,219 in first-year earnings, graduates earn slightly above the national program average of $27,783, and among Colorado's 23 programs offering this credential, this ranks in the 60th percentile—a respectable middle-tier performance.

The debt picture tells an even better story. While the program ranks in the 95th percentile nationally for debt levels, that's actually misleading—at $8,708, student debt here is substantially lower than the national median of $10,372. This creates a favorable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.31, meaning graduates can expect to earn back their entire educational investment in roughly four months of work. The 11% earnings growth over four years also suggests decent career progression potential.

For parents considering this program, the numbers work in your favor. Your child would graduate with below-average debt while earning above-average wages in a stable healthcare support field. Among Pima's three Colorado locations, the Colorado Springs campus matches the earnings of the Denver location while outperforming Aurora, making it a smart geographic choice for this credential.
