Analysis

Based on comparable programs in New Jersey, a healthcare administration bachelor's from Saint Elizabeth suggests first-year earnings around $45,300—solidly in line with the national median for this field. The estimated debt of $33,300 produces a manageable 0.74 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning graduates would owe less than a year's salary. For context, similar bachelor's programs nationally carry a median debt of $31,000, so Saint Elizabeth's estimated borrowing sits close to typical levels.

What complicates the picture is the wide range among New Jersey's healthcare administration programs. Rutgers graduates in this field earn nearly $50,000 their first year out, while Monmouth's program shows earnings below $23,000—a stark reminder that program quality and connections matter enormously in this credential. Without actual outcome data for Saint Elizabeth specifically, it's impossible to know where this program lands on that spectrum. The 54% Pell grant rate indicates the school serves many students without financial cushion to absorb uncertainty.

The estimated figures suggest reasonable outcomes if Saint Elizabeth's program performs like peers, but that's a significant "if" when peer programs in the same state vary by $27,000 in starting salaries. For families taking on real debt, ask the school directly about job placement rates, employer partnerships, and where recent graduates actually landed—the answers will tell you whether this program delivers closer to Rutgers' outcomes or Monmouth's.
