Health and Medical Administrative Services at Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Carolina Campus

Graduates from this program face a challenging financial reality: they earn about $31,000 annually—roughly $13,000 below the national median for health administration bachelor's degrees. While that puts them in just the 5th percentile nationally, it's worth noting they land near the middle of similar programs in Puerto Rico, where the entire healthcare administration market appears compressed compared to mainland opportunities. The debt load of nearly $35,000 exceeds their first-year earnings, creating a debt-to-income ratio that will stretch repayment timelines considerably.

What's particularly concerning is the complete absence of earnings growth between years one and four. Most graduates can expect raises as they gain experience, but these alumni see essentially flat wages—staying around $31,000 whether they're newly graduated or four years into their careers. With 70% of students receiving Pell grants, this pattern suggests many graduates from economically disadvantaged backgrounds may struggle with loan repayment while their earning potential stagnates.

For families considering this program, the question isn't just about immediate job prospects but long-term mobility. If your child is committed to staying in Puerto Rico and healthcare administration specifically, understand they'll likely earn less than $32,000 annually with minimal growth trajectory. Those who can relocate to the mainland after graduation might find significantly better opportunities—the national median is 42% higher—but that requires resources many families at this institution may not have.
