Analysis

UEI College-Huntington Park's Health and Medical Administrative Services certificate delivers below-average earnings but keeps debt manageable, creating a reasonable if unspectacular value proposition. Starting salaries of $25,699 trail both the national median ($27,783) and California median ($26,827) for similar programs, placing graduates in the 40th percentile statewide. However, the $9,500 debt load matches California's median, resulting in a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.37—well within manageable territory.

The program shows solid fundamentals with 14% earnings growth over four years and a robust sample size of 100+ graduates, lending confidence to these figures. While this program can't compete with top California performers like Santa Barbara City College ($47,046) or North-West College-Van Nuys ($40,938), it serves its primarily low-income student population (75% receive Pell grants) without creating crushing debt burdens.

For families prioritizing affordability and job market entry over maximum earning potential, this program represents a sensible pathway into healthcare administration. The combination of reasonable debt and steady employment prospects makes it particularly suitable for students seeking practical career training without the financial risks of higher-cost alternatives.
