Health and Medical Administrative Services at University of Phoenix-Texas

This health administration certificate program at University of Phoenix-Texas delivers solid, if unremarkable, returns that justify the modest investment. With first-year earnings of $28,201 and debt of just $12,125, graduates face a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.43—meaning they'll earn back their debt in roughly 5 months of gross pay. The program performs slightly above national averages and ranks in the 60th percentile among Texas programs, suggesting competent but not exceptional outcomes.

The financial picture improves over time, with earnings growing 18% to $33,138 by year four. However, this program trails significantly behind top Texas performers like Galveston College ($34,532) and Dallas College ($34,135), which offer similar training at community college prices. The relatively low debt burden partially offsets this gap, but prospective students should consider whether the University of Phoenix premium delivers sufficient value.

For families seeking accessible healthcare administration training, this program represents a reasonable choice with predictable returns. The robust sample size gives confidence in these outcomes, and the manageable debt load reduces financial risk. However, parents should explore community college alternatives that might deliver better earnings potential at lower cost before committing to this option.
