Health and Medical Administrative Services at Ross Medical Education Center-Port Huron

Ross Medical Education Center's Port Huron location produces earnings that mirror Michigan's median for medical administrative programs, but fall short of what you'd see at the school's other campuses. At $24,758 in the first year, graduates earn about $3,000 less than comparable programs at Ross's Ann Arbor or Brighton locations—and substantially less than top-performing programs like Ferris State. Within Michigan, this lands at the 40th percentile, meaning more than half of similar programs deliver better outcomes.

The debt load of $9,500 is manageable on paper, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38 that won't trap graduates in years of repayment. However, the modest earnings growth to $26,729 by year four suggests limited advancement potential in these entry-level administrative roles. Given that 82% of students here receive Pell grants, many families are counting on this credential to open doors—but those doors lead to positions paying roughly half what a full-time minimum wage job at $15/hour would earn.

For a student committed to medical administration and already in the Port Huron area, this certificate keeps debt reasonable while providing basic entry credentials. But families should know this represents a below-average outcome even within Michigan's medical administrative programs, and other Ross locations deliver noticeably better results for what's presumably the same curriculum.
