Analysis

Southern New Hampshire University's Health and Medical Administrative Services program delivers solid earnings that outperform national benchmarks, with first-year graduates earning $50,619—well above the national median of $44,345 and landing in the 75th percentile nationally. However, within New Hampshire, the program sits in the middle of the pack at the 60th percentile, trailing Franklin Pierce's $66,556 but staying competitive with UNH's $50,110.

The debt picture is reasonable but not exceptional. At $35,924, graduates carry more debt than the national median ($30,998) and significantly more than the New Hampshire median ($27,000). Still, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.71 means graduates earn enough in their first year to justify the investment, and earnings grow a healthy 14% by year four to $57,731.

For an accessible program (96% admission rate) that serves a diverse student body (47% receive Pell grants), these outcomes represent good value. Your child would graduate with manageable debt and earnings that exceed what most health administration programs deliver nationally. While not the top performer in New Hampshire, SNHU provides a reliable pathway to middle-class earnings in a growing healthcare field.
