Health and Medical Administrative Services at Kilgore College

Graduates of the Health and Medical Administrative Services program at Kilgore College can expect a gradual increase in earnings over time. The median earnings one year after graduation stand at $23,929, rising to $32,883 five years later, and slightly decreasing to $32,768 after ten years. When adjusted for purchasing power, the five-year salary equivalent nationally is approximately $35,703.58, indicating that while initial earnings may seem modest, the long-term financial outlook remains relatively stable, albeit with a slight decline in the later years.

The primary industries that graduates enter include Health Care & Social Assistance, which accounts for 46.8% of placements, followed by an additional 37.0% in the same sector and 30.0% in Public Administration. Given the estimated break-even point of more than ten years compared to a high-school-only path, the return on investment (ROI) for this degree may be considered moderate. Students should weigh the long-term earnings potential against the time and financial commitment required for their education.
