Health and Medical Administrative Services at Ross Medical Education Center-Taylor

Ross Medical Education Center-Taylor faces a fundamental problem: earnings actually decline after graduation, dropping from $26,601 to $25,446 over four years. While this outperforms Michigan's median for medical administrative programs by about $1,800 in year one, that's a low bar—the state's top program at Ferris State yields nearly triple these earnings. The $9,500 debt load is manageable at 36% of first-year income, but you're financing credentials that lead to wages barely above minimum threshold for white-collar work.

The program serves predominantly Pell-eligible students (85%), and within that context, the debt is reasonable. However, Michigan families should know that other Ross Medical campuses in the state—Ann Arbor, Brighton, and Davison—all report graduates earning around $28,570, roughly $3,000 more annually. Even Schoolcraft Community College, a traditional public institution, shows better outcomes at $29,298. The Taylor location specifically appears to underperform its sister campuses.

For families considering healthcare administration, this certificate delivers stable but limited earning potential with minimal debt risk. If your student needs quick workforce entry and the Taylor location works logistically, the low debt makes this survivable. But if other Ross Medical locations or Schoolcraft are geographically feasible, those extra few thousand dollars annually compound significantly over a career.
