Health and Medical Administrative Services at Quinsigamond Community College

In Massachusetts, health administration programs range from Springfield Technical's $40,000 in first-year earnings down to North Shore's $34,000, suggesting this field's outcomes vary significantly even at the community college level. Based on comparable programs in the state, Quinsigamond's graduates likely earn around $40,000 their first year—well above the $31,700 national median for this credential and competitive with other Massachusetts community colleges.

The estimated debt of $20,400 sits between the state median of $10,200 and the national benchmark of $23,000. With a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.51, graduates would need roughly half their first-year salary to cover educational debt—manageable territory, though not the slam dunk that some Massachusetts programs achieve with significantly lower borrowing. The challenge here is that these figures are drawn from peer programs rather than Quinsigamond's actual graduate outcomes, so individual results could swing either way.

For a family considering this path, the key question is whether your student can access the lower-debt outcomes that some Massachusetts programs achieve while aiming for earnings at or above the state median. Healthcare administration offers steady employment demand in Massachusetts, but with 13 programs across the state producing varying results, your student's success may depend as much on landing the right healthcare employer post-graduation as on the credential itself.
