Analysis

UNH's Health and Medical Administrative Services program shows impressive earning potential that accelerates over time. Graduates start at $50,110—already well above the $44,345 national median—and jump to $70,514 by year four, a 41% increase that suggests strong career progression in healthcare management roles. The manageable $27,000 in debt translates to a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.54, meaning graduates earn roughly twice what they owe in their first year alone.

The state picture reveals an interesting nuance: while this program ranks in the 73rd percentile nationally, it sits at the 40th percentile among New Hampshire programs. Franklin Pierce leads the state at $66,556 starting earnings, but UNH's trajectory makes up ground quickly. The state's healthcare market appears particularly strong—New Hampshire's median for this program ($50,416) outpaces the national figure by 14%.

For parents, this program offers solid fundamentals: debt below both state and national medians, strong earning growth, and reasonable accessibility at an 87% admission rate. The four-year earnings leap suggests UNH graduates are landing positions with advancement potential rather than hitting early career ceilings. While not the highest-earning healthcare administration program in New Hampshire initially, the growth trajectory and manageable debt make this a practical choice for students interested in healthcare management.
