Health and Medical Administrative Services at University of Toledo

University of Toledo's healthcare administration program produces graduates who start significantly behind their peers—earning nearly $3,700 less than the Ohio state median and ranking in just the 32nd percentile nationally. While the moderate debt load of $26,438 is better than the national median, it still requires graduates to dedicate about 65% of their first year's salary to principal repayment, creating a challenging financial position for recent graduates entering administrative roles.

The numbers tell a story of underperformance compared to other Ohio options. Top programs at University of Cincinnati and Ohio State produce graduates earning $10,000-$16,000 more annually, and even mid-tier options like Franklin University show substantially better outcomes. The 15% earnings growth over four years brings Toledo graduates closer to parity, reaching $47,068, but they're still playing catch-up to peers who started ahead.

For families specifically considering University of Toledo—whether for its high acceptance rate or regional accessibility—this program presents a concerning value proposition. Healthcare administration typically offers stable career paths, but this particular program doesn't leverage that advantage effectively. Parents should seriously question whether the $26,000+ debt burden makes sense when graduates start below both state and national medians, especially given that stronger programs exist within Ohio's public university system at potentially similar tuition costs.
