Analysis

This University of Phoenix program presents a concerning financial picture that should give parents pause. While initial earnings of $44,580 are slightly above both national and Nevada medians for health administration programs, graduates carry significantly more debt—$51,958 versus a national median of just $30,998. This places the program in the worst 5th percentile nationally for student debt burden.

The most troubling aspect is the negative earnings trajectory: graduates actually earn less four years out ($41,208) than in their first year, representing an 8% decline when most careers show growth. This "early peak" pattern is particularly problematic given the high debt load. Among Nevada's limited options for this field, the program does rank in the 60th percentile for earnings, but this comparison is less meaningful since there are only two programs statewide.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.17 means graduates owe more than a full year's salary, creating a challenging repayment scenario that worsens as earnings decline. For a field where the University of Nevada-Las Vegas produces similar outcomes with presumably lower debt (as a public institution), this program represents poor value. Parents should seriously consider alternatives, particularly in-state public options that could deliver comparable career outcomes without the crushing debt burden.
