Health and Medical Administrative Services at Roberts Wesleyan University

Roberts Wesleyan graduates with this degree earn right at New York's median for healthcare administration programs—$46,792 versus the state typical $46,792—but they're carrying substantially more debt to get there. The $38,542 median debt at graduation is 36% higher than what New York students typically borrow for this degree ($28,367), which creates a tighter financial squeeze in those early career years.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.82 means graduates are looking at roughly 10 months of gross income just to cover their educational debt. While this isn't catastrophic by any means, the cost structure stands out when you consider this is a mid-tier program academically (1205 SAT average, 78% admission rate) producing middle-of-the-pack outcomes. Top performers in the state like CUNY programs deliver substantially higher earnings—some exceeding $60,000—often at lower cost to students.

One important caveat: this data comes from fewer than 30 graduates, so individual experiences could vary significantly. But the pattern suggests Roberts Wesleyan is charging more than competitors for similar results. Unless your child has compelling reasons to choose this particular school—strong local connections in Rochester's healthcare market, for instance—you'll likely find better value elsewhere in New York's healthcare administration programs.
