Analysis

UPitt-Greensburg's health administration program substantially outperforms national expectations, ranking in the 89th percentile for graduate earnings while keeping debt well below average. Starting at $55,762—about $11,000 above the national median—graduates carry just $22,662 in debt, roughly $8,000 less than typical programs nationwide. That 0.41 debt-to-earnings ratio means manageable monthly payments even on a starting salary, and earnings climb another 17% by year four to $65,377.

The Pennsylvania comparison provides useful context: while this program sits at the 60th percentile statewide, that's partly because several elite programs push above $85,000. Against PA's median of $53,497, UPitt-Greensburg still comes out ahead while maintaining notably lower debt than the state average. The school's 98% admission rate and accessible price point mean this outcome is available to students who might not qualify for more selective alternatives.

For families seeking a reliable path into healthcare administration without excessive debt, this program delivers strong value. The combination of above-average starting salaries, manageable debt loads, and steady income growth suggests graduates can build stable careers. The moderate sample size offers reasonable confidence in these outcomes, and the regional Pitt network likely helps with local healthcare placement.
