Health and Medical Administrative Services at UEI College-Reseda

UEI College-Reseda's Health and Medical Administrative Services certificate falls squarely in the middle of the pack, delivering earnings that lag behind both national and California medians by about $2,000-$3,000 annually. At the 40th percentile among California programs, this means roughly 60% of similar programs in the state produce better outcomes. The gap becomes more stark when compared to top performers—Santa Barbara City College graduates earn nearly double what UEI students make.

The financial picture isn't alarming but isn't compelling either. With $9,500 in debt producing first-year earnings of $25,699, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.37 is manageable, and earnings do grow 14% over four years to $29,260. However, the program's debt levels rank in the 75th percentile nationally, meaning three-quarters of similar programs leave students with less debt for potentially better outcomes.

Given that 75% of UEI students receive Pell grants, this program likely serves students with limited options, but the data suggests they could find better value elsewhere in California. The robust sample size of 100+ graduates gives confidence in these middling results. For families focused purely on financial returns, exploring community college options or higher-performing private schools would likely yield better outcomes for similar or lower debt levels.
