Health and Medical Administrative Services at Pitt Community College

Pitt Community College's health administration program delivers slightly above-average results for North Carolina, though it trails the state's top community college programs by a meaningful margin. At $30,616 in first-year earnings, graduates earn modestly more than the NC median and land in the 60th percentile statewide—respectable positioning, but Durham Tech and Davidson-Davie grads start nearly $7,000 higher.

The debt picture looks reasonable on the surface: $24,746 is close to both state and national medians, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.81. Graduates typically need about 10 months of gross income to cover their educational debt. However, the earnings trajectory deserves attention—the 9% growth to $33,309 by year four is steady but unspectacular, leaving graduates earning less than the starting salaries at top NC programs.

For families considering this program, it's a functional pathway into healthcare administration but not a standout performer. If your student has access to Durham Tech, Wake Tech, or Forsyth Tech without relocating, those programs offer demonstrably better earnings outcomes. If Pitt is the local option and relocation isn't feasible, the program provides adequate preparation at typical debt levels—just understand your graduate will likely start at the lower end of the healthcare administrative pay scale in North Carolina.
