Health and Medical Administrative Services at Stautzenberger College-Maumee

Stautzenberger College-Maumee graduates start at $27,646—roughly $4,000 below Ohio's median for medical administrative programs and about $10,000 behind what students earn at Cincinnati State or Cuyahoga Community College. While the program ranks at the 40th percentile within Ohio (meaning you're doing better than some in-state options), the $30,203 in debt creates an uncomfortable reality: graduates owe more than their first-year salary. That 1.09 debt-to-earnings ratio means debt payments will strain entry-level budgets.

The program does two things reasonably well: debt loads are lower than most nationally (20th percentile), and earnings tick upward to $29,240 by year four. But that modest growth doesn't solve the fundamental problem—you're still earning substantially less than peers at public community colleges while carrying comparable debt. Given that 75% of students here receive Pell grants, many families are already financially stretched and can't easily absorb underperformance.

For an anxious parent, the math is straightforward: Ohio community colleges offer better outcomes at similar or lower cost. Unless location or scheduling makes Stautzenberger uniquely accessible, your child would likely be better served at a public alternative where graduates consistently clear $38,000-$42,000 annually.
