Analysis

UEI College-Phoenix's Health and Medical Administrative Services certificate delivers below-average earnings that trail both national and Arizona benchmarks. Graduates earn $25,699 in their first year—about $2,000 less than the national median and nearly $4,000 below Arizona's median for this program. Among Arizona's 32 schools offering this credential, UEI ranks in just the 40th percentile, meaning 60% of programs in the state produce better outcomes.

The debt picture offers some relief, with graduates owing $9,500 compared to typical program debt of around $10,000. This keeps the debt-to-earnings ratio manageable at 0.37, meaning graduates can expect to pay off their loans within reasonable timeframes. Earnings do grow 14% over four years to $29,260, though this still lags behind what top Arizona programs like Phoenix College ($34,608) deliver from year one.

For families considering this program, the numbers suggest looking elsewhere within Arizona's competitive landscape. Community colleges like Phoenix College and GateWay offer the same credential with significantly better earning potential—often $7,000-9,000 more annually—likely at lower cost. Unless UEI provides unique scheduling flexibility or support services that justify the earnings gap, Arizona families have stronger options for this career path.
