Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences at University of New Hampshire College of Professional Studies Online

With estimates pointing to $36,956 in first-year earnings and $24,790 in debt, this online bachelor's program appears to track near state medians—but the wide range among New Hampshire's health services programs should give you pause about relying too heavily on these projections. Southern New Hampshire University's graduates in similar programs earn nearly double what peer programs suggest for this school, while Franklin Pierce sits below $33,000. That $33,000 gap between top and bottom performers in the same state means outcomes likely depend heavily on the specific career pathways students pursue and the professional networks they build.

The estimated debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.67 suggests manageable repayment if those earnings materialize, falling below both state and national debt benchmarks for this field. However, $36,956 translates to roughly $24,000 annually after loan payments and basic expenses—tight for a four-year degree holder in a healthcare-adjacent field. The 32% Pell grant population indicates this program serves students who may have fewer financial safety nets if outcomes land on the lower end of that state range.

Before committing to this specific online program, dig into exactly which health services roles their graduates typically enter and how those align with your child's goals. The field is broad enough that "health services" can mean anything from medical coding to healthcare administration, and those career tracks have vastly different earning trajectories. Given the limited data, talking to current students and recent graduates about their actual employment outcomes would provide far more certainty than these state-wide estimates can offer.
