Health and Medical Administrative Services at Ross Medical Education Center-Roosevelt Park

Ross Medical Education Center-Roosevelt Park's medical administrative certificate produces earnings that mirror the Michigan median but fall short of what's available elsewhere. Graduates earn about $24,758 initially, climbing to $26,729 after four years—essentially matching the state's middle-of-the-road programs but trailing the national benchmark by roughly $3,000 annually. Within Michigan, this puts the program at the 40th percentile, meaning six out of ten similar programs produce better outcomes. More concerning: other Ross Education Centers in Ann Arbor, Brighton, and Davison show graduates earning $28,570, suggesting location or specific program execution may matter significantly even within the same system.

The debt picture offers some relief at $9,500, which is manageable given the short program length and results in a reasonable 0.38 debt-to-earnings ratio. However, this represents fairly average borrowing for the field—it doesn't compensate for the below-average earnings. The program primarily serves Pell-eligible students (84%), making those modest starting salaries particularly important for financial stability.

For a family weighing this certificate, the numbers suggest looking carefully at alternatives. Schoolcraft Community College produces similar administrative professionals earning $29,298—nearly $5,000 more annually for likely comparable training. Unless Roosevelt Park offers specific advantages in scheduling or support services, the earnings gap is too substantial to ignore when other accessible options exist nearby.
