Analysis
Stonehill College's healthcare administration program delivers strong four-year earnings of $71,297—well above both the national median ($44,345) and Massachusetts average ($42,938) for this degree. Starting at $50,858, graduates see robust 40% income growth by year four, suggesting this program opens doors to supervisory and management roles that typically develop after initial healthcare admin experience.
The $26,000 debt load, while lower than the national median of $30,998, is still notable given the modest starting salary. The 0.51 debt-to-earnings ratio is manageable but not exceptional—graduates will be dedicating roughly half their first-year income to outstanding debt. Within Massachusetts, this program sits solidly in the middle of the pack (60th percentile), trailing Fisher College's $61,133 outcomes but leading most state options. That said, the sample size here is small—fewer than 30 graduates—so these numbers could shift with a larger cohort.
The real value emerges in years 2-4, when earnings climb substantially. For families comfortable with $26,000 in debt and confident their student will stay in healthcare administration long enough to see that growth, Stonehill offers a reliable path into healthcare management. Just understand you're paying a premium over public options like Salem State, which charges less but may offer fewer advancement opportunities.
