Health and Medical Administrative Services at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay

UW-Green Bay's healthcare administration program falls short of what other Wisconsin schools deliver. Starting earnings of $41,306 trail the state median by over $5,000, ranking in just the 40th percentile among Wisconsin programs—and the gap widens further when compared to top performers like UW-Eau Claire ($71,692) or UW-Parkside ($50,190). Even modest programs like Concordia-Wisconsin start graduates nearly $8,500 higher. While the debt load of $37,500 isn't catastrophic, it's elevated for earnings at this level, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 0.91.

The program does show steady, if unspectacular, growth to $43,914 by year four, suggesting graduates find stable footing in healthcare administration roles. However, they're still earning below the state median even after four years of career progression. For families paying in-state tuition, this represents a concerning value gap—you're attending a Wisconsin public university but getting below-average Wisconsin outcomes.

The bottom line: If your child is set on healthcare administration in Wisconsin, this program underperforms its in-state peers. UW-Eau Claire or UW-Parkside offer substantially better earnings trajectories at comparable public university price points. Unless there are compelling personal reasons to choose Green Bay specifically, the data suggests looking elsewhere within the UW System for better returns on this degree.
