Program Analysis

At $48,584 per year, Health and Medical Administrative Services graduates from Stephens College earn slightly above the $46,252 national median. The premium is real but not dramatic.

At 5.8x 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 14% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.

The $30,808 debt-to-$48,584 income ratio translates to about 8 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.

Ranked #80 out of 262 programs, Stephens College's Health and Medical Administrative Services offering sits in the upper half but doesn't break into the top tier.

Earnings growth from $48,584 to $74,339 over five years (53% increase) indicates that graduates in this field see meaningful salary progression.
