Analysis

Pima Medical Institute's healthcare administration program commands premium pricing but appears to deliver returns that justify the investment. With first-year earnings of $53,773—placing graduates in the 84th percentile nationally—this program substantially outperforms the typical bachelor's in this field. The debt load of $44,561 is higher than the national median, but the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.83 remains manageable, meaning graduates earn enough in year one to cover their full debt burden within a year.

The state-level picture reveals an interesting dynamic: while these outcomes rank 60th percentile among Arizona programs, that's partly because the state's top performer (Ottawa University-Surprise) shows unusually high earnings at $75,385. More telling is that Pima Medical beats the Arizona median by over $9,000 in first-year earnings while carrying debt that's only moderately above the state average. Earnings also climb steadily to $60,759 by year four, suggesting career progression rather than stagnation.

For families concerned about ROI, the math works in your favor here. Nearly half the student body receives Pell grants, yet graduates emerge with earnings 21% above the national median for this degree and debt levels that don't create a crushing burden. You're paying more than at some competitors, but the employment outcomes—validated by a robust sample size—suggest Pima Medical's industry connections and training model translate into stronger initial job placements.
