No verified preparation time is on file for Education Administrators, Postsecondary. The wage survey behind every figure on this page asks employers what they pay, not what they required, so the honest answer here is that we do not know.

The quarters sit at $80,870 and $144,370 — 1.8x, or $5,291 a month apart. At that width the occupation contains genuinely different jobs, and which one you are being offered matters more than the title does.

The bottom quarter of this field earns $80,870 — $38.87 an hour, $30,850 above the $50,020 national midpoint. When even the worst-paid quarter of Education Administrators, Postsecondary is this far ahead, the barrier to entry is doing the work of keeping it there.

Avoid it if you need the authority to match the accountability; in operations of this size it rarely does.

No failure rate is shown, and the absence is deliberate: the 180,470 figure counts people already working as Education Administrators, Postsecondary, not everyone who trained and never got hired. Without a licensing register to divide by, a rate here would be an invented denominator.
