Analysis

University of Minnesota-Crookston graduates in this program earn $61,965 in their first year—nearly 40% above the national median for healthcare administration programs and just shy of the top performers in Minnesota. This places the program in the 95th percentile nationally, delivering earnings comparable to more expensive private institutions like Concordia and Saint Scholastica. The $34,393 in median debt sits right at Minnesota's state median, making the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.56 quite manageable for a healthcare administration role.

The slight earnings dip from year one to year four ($61,965 to $61,608) is essentially flat rather than declining, which differs from programs where graduates see substantial growth. This suggests the program launches students into solid mid-level positions right away rather than entry-level roles with advancement potential. Given the 60th percentile ranking within Minnesota, the program performs respectably in-state but truly shines when compared against the national landscape of 589 programs.

For families weighing options, this represents strong value: graduates immediately earn enough to comfortably manage their debt while working in stable healthcare administration careers. The program competes effectively with Minnesota's flagship health administration options at roughly half the debt load of many private alternatives.
