How we ranked these

Every school is listed with the same published figures, from the u.s. department of education, college scorecard field-of-study (most recent cohorts, 2025-26) and ipeds completions (2024-25). One figure orders the list: median earnings, 1 year after graduation. Sponsorship is labeled and never changes a school's place.

Questions about this ranking

How is this ranking made?

One figure orders the list: median earnings, 1 year after graduation. Every rule we applied is published in the method below.

Can a school pay to rank higher?

No. Sponsorship is a separate, labeled section, and paying never changes a school's place in the ranking.

What do the figures cover?

Median earnings are published for the federal program family, not the exact subfield. Net price and completion describe the whole school.

How this ranking is made

Every line below is a rule. None of them can be bought.

If a rule is not written here, we did not apply it.

01
Programs in this list: schools that awarded a credential in healthcare data, privacy, and health information, at the master's and graduate certificate level, with the program family reported fully online according to IPEDS Completions (2024-25), matched to the College Scorecard field-of-study file.
02
Ranked by one figure: median earnings one year after graduation for the school's Health and Medical Administrative Services programs (median earnings, 1 year after graduation), from the College Scorecard field-of-study file.
03
Programs with fewer than 10 graduates reporting earnings are left out because a median from a small group swings too much to compare.
04
The federal file publishes earnings by 4-digit CIP family, not by the precise subfield, so the figure describes the family named above. The online flag is reported at the family level too, so confirm the specific program is taught online with the school.
05
No school can pay to be included or to move up. Sponsored schools, where shown, appear in a separate, labeled section.
06
IPEDS Completions tells us which schools actually award a credential in this field. The College Scorecard tells us the online flag and the published earnings. Both are federal files; neither is for sale.
07
Confirm accreditation, licensure, and whether the program prepares you for a state credential with the school.

Before you apply

Accreditation in healthcare data and health information

Look for CAHIIM accreditation on health information management and privacy programs. Coding tracks are often approved by AAPC or AHIMA instead.

Credential

What you earn, and what you sit for

Common credentials include the RHIA or RHIT through AHIMA, the CCS or CPC for coding, and privacy credentials such as the CHPS.

Online reality

What the online flag does and does not mean

Online here means the school reported the program family as fully online to the U.S. Department of Education. The specific subfield you want may still include an in-person piece.

Practical work

What to ask about placements

Ask whether the program teaches SQL, statistics, and a healthcare data standard such as HL7 or FHIR, since those show up in data and informatics job listings.

The top school here is Rutgers University-New Brunswick, with median program earnings of $98,336 one year after graduation. Earnings are reported by federal program family, not by the exact subfield, so treat the figure as a signal about the field and the school, not a promise about any one job.

Advertising disclosure

Some of the schools on this page are advertisers and are clearly labeled as such. They pay us when you click through or request information, and that payment can affect which schools appear and in what order. Net price, graduation rate, earnings, and debt come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and are the same figures we publish for every school.
