Program Analysis

Graduates earn $40,032/yr, roughly in line with the $46,252 national median for Health and Medical Administrative Services. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

At 8.1x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.

AI risk is moderate — 54% task exposure — and the 5% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $27,250 debt-to-$40,032 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

At #214 out of 262 programs, Grand Valley State University's financial outcomes for Health and Medical Administrative Services trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
