Educational Administration and Supervision at Point Park University

Point Park's Educational Administration credential produces graduates earning $78,430—roughly $26,000 more than the national median for this program and landing in the 95th percentile nationwide. That's an impressive outcome, though it comes with an important caveat: this data reflects fewer than 30 graduates, making it difficult to know whether these results are typical or anomalous.

The debt picture looks reasonable at first glance, with a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.41 suggesting graduates earn roughly $2.40 for every dollar borrowed. However, the $32,447 in median debt is notably high for a certificate program, sitting in the 95th percentile nationally (meaning only 5% of similar programs carry more debt). Pennsylvania's limited market for this credential—just five schools offer it—makes state comparisons less meaningful, as Point Park's outcomes essentially represent the state median.

For parents, the key question is sample size reliability. If your child would be pursuing this credential with established career experience or a clear pathway into educational administration roles, these earnings suggest strong potential. But the small graduate cohort means you're betting on limited data. The debt load isn't prohibitive given the earnings, but it's substantial for what's typically a supplementary credential rather than a standalone degree. Confirm what specific career doors this certificate opens before committing.
